[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who are all these men people are dating/married to that don't like football? I guess you scored all the really rich and successful alpha males that happen to not like the sport that dominates masculine culture in this country.  Have a hard cider on me fellas, you continue to defy expectations. [/quote]

The question was about liking it to the point of obsession. Plenty of guys like football, and would watch a game here and there, but mostly have more interesting things to do. [/quote]

People have different views as to what qualifies as "obsession." I don't really think having one day per week that is pretty focused on football is an "obsession." Betting on lots of games, spending tons of money on football related things, canceling events on thursdays, sundays, Mondays, maybe. Getting so upset over a loss or a player's injury that it drastically alters your mood, maybe. One day a week of fun? Not obsession. It only seems like an obsession when it's not your thing.

A lot of women (or also men, I guess) devote the same amount of time (or more) to online shopping, training for triathlons or marathons, crossfit, binge watching TV series', etc. It's only seen as an obsession when it's different than what you like. [/quote]
