I think I can say that I feel your pain! I'm not a follower of football, but I'm a baseball fan. I used to be so fanatical about it that I could quote the standings of each team in the majors, tell you about any player on any team ... I could even tell you the name of every baseball commissioner going back to the very first one. I was married at that time, and I thought my husband would be proud to have a wife who knew so much about sports. NOPE. One day he asked me to quit talking about baseball to his friends. Apparently, they were intimidated and turned off because I knew more about baseball than they did.
Wow....they didn't have issues, did they? *sarcasm
I have a girlfriend who follows the Mets like that. I mean she can tell you way back stuff. She gets the same looks and reactions too. Like a cute girl can't know about sports. I mean...come ON already.
And I have a female cousin that love boxing. Diva to the max, and loves boxing.
I don't see what's so strange. Some women like sports, some like shopping, some like shoes. They need to get over it.
Here's a new twist for you: I'm not an expert on any sport, but even with my limited knowledge, I know more than my guy does. He feels nothing toward any sport whatsoever, with the small exception of hockey.
(on the other hand...bring up Alex Van Halen vs. Neal Peart and watch him go into geek mode...)
P.S. I need to meet your girlfriend, LOL. I know lots of things about the Mets way back when. :P
Truly a WTF moment.
