This goes, really for watching almost all sports, but especially a championship game
- Ladies, imagine all you want to do is soak in a tub, with scented candles, soft music, the lights down low. No one is to bother you unless it is a category 5 issue. Yeah, that’s the way we feel about watching sports, especially championship games
- Guys who aren’t sports fans, well, well, I’m not sure about your “bathtub place”, but imagine it. And zip it.
- Now is not the time to “discuss X”. No talk about your Aunt Betty’s nephews cousins school play. Nothing about chores. Whatever it is, It Can Wait.
- Wait till commercial to ask what just happened in the game
- Now is not the time to ask about the rules
- Do NOT ask out opinion on something: you might actually get it!
- No matter what that thought is, see rules 1-3
Glamour Magazine also offers up 9 rules for watching with guys, including
- DON’T WEAR A PINK JERSEY
- RESPECT THE SPORT – “Do not criticize. If the rules don’t make sense at first, don’t give the ‘that’s dumb’ response.”
- SHOW OR FEIGN INTEREST – you expect us to do this while you look at handbags and shoes. This is a 2 way street
And more from Eric Robinson
- Please do not stand in front of the television if you want something.
- If you want something, the best time to ask for it is after a nice victory from our favorite team.
- Please don’t expect us to eat or do anything healthy on Sunday.
- Don’t EVER say the words “You love your stupid football game more than me.â€
Do you have any rules?
Yeah…don’t gloat if her team makes a bonehead play or loses, but on the other hand, take her gloating in good nature if your team loses. I hate watching sports with my wife, lol.
Hmm, good point.
