I find it pleasantly strange that so many woman are becoming true NFL fans. It seems where ever I am watching the game there are just as many woman around as there are dudes. They're cheering hard and getting just as pissed as men do. They're pigging out, wearing jerseys and talking trash. What's next? A street game afterwards. Are they pretending? What the hell is going on?
The biggest surprise came while recruiting team managers for my league this summer. I told my girlfriend that I may need to use her as a weight. Meaning, if I ended up with an uneven number of teams I would need her to join in order to even it out. You cannot run a league with an odd number of teams. But it looks like everything is going to be fine. I should have a round number of ten teams in the league. I told my girlfriend the good news that I would not need her to join. To my surprise she seemed very disappointed. Really?
I thought she was joking but she wasn't. I admit her argument seems reasonable. She has to deal with me hogging up the TV with football games every week. And if she was forced to watch football then she wanted some stake in the game. As you know, that is where fantasy football comes in.
She is not the only one. More and more I am asked by woman if they can join my fantasy football league. My female friends, my girlfriend's friends, my sister, the list goes on. So I'm going to put this female fantasy football craze to the test. I've created the perfect fantasy football league for ladies only. It's free and it's game settings are much more forgiving than my original league. It's perfect for beginners. I'm going to invite all the ladies and see what happens. What the heck. I'm interested to see how this thing turns out. Sunday night is now Ladies Night!
