My dad seems to think I don't get football.
He seemed a bit irritated just now, when I noted "that ref is a really good-looking guy". Apparently, I'm not paying attention to the right aspects of the game. Now I remember why my mom and I used to go to movies during Packers games.

1. He doesn't understand that the female brain is well suited for multi-tasking...
I can fully watch and enjoy the technical aspects of a game while simultaneously checking out all the hot guys.

3. And is it our fault they don't wait until half-time to put the hot guys on the field,
the way they do with the hot chicks?

5. What about when you're on the job?
Do you let your disgusting prurient interests interfere with the task at hand then, too?

:spank:

8. It's call multi-tasking...
I could conceivably breast feed a baby, check out hot guys, do my taxes and still diagnose an ACL tear from 30 yards

that's just science and that's what we women folk do :P

6. What's not to get?
It's a gentleman's game, played roughly. Only the goalie can use the hands. Strike as you can, protect as you should. A fantastic game.

11. I don't get football.
It's all my colleagues ever talk about at work. During the season, out of season, all the fucking time. Fantasy football, Sunday league football, football this, football that. Shut up! Shut the fuck up! Talk about something else for once in your lives!
