Learning Day: A Women's Guide To Football🌭
Added 2024-11-25 13:00:10 +0000 UTC
As we all know, football is the manliest thing a man can do. It's got everything men love: big beefy dudes, balls, sweating, touching… you know, man stuff. Though we have tried many times, women simply cannot comprehend it. Yet tome after tome has been written to further this ultimately futile cause.

As we all know, women are far too busy with Girlbossing to concern themselves with trivial things like man games. No matter how pink the football is, once it goes into the air, it becomes a projectile question mark to all those cursed with a vagina. In 1986, a production company called MPI assembled a crack team of experts to solve America's biggest problem– the football widows. They just need to abandon their interests and focus on football instead, you see! How can other hobbies, like volunteering in your community, creating art, or being a pediatric nurse, compare to the epic highs and lows of high school football? Meet our football explaining sheroes. One is shirtless.

The shirtless man is former professional sporty guy Tim Wrightman, who gamed two full seasons in the NFL. He's the eye candy to keep us gals interested in this boring sports talk. Look at that slab of prime 1980s USDA meat. You'll recognize the clothed man as comedian Tom Dreesen, who has a golden palm star on the Palm Springs California Walk Of Stars. The final shero of this film is Lois Hall. She's a woman so I like her, but she can't sports. Don't worry, Lois, the men will teach you, and one of them will be sexy at the same time! Tom will also be there.

Booooo, they let Tim put on a shirt. Boo, I hate this movie already. Oh my God, is the rest of this seriously going to be talking about football? Yes. It's just Tim sitting in front of a board explaining the different football positions to Lois. He tells Lois without an ounce of suggestion that his favorite position is tight end. It turns out that's because it's Tim's position. Tim doesn't just love tight end, he is tight end. Will this whole article just be me sexually harassing C-list football daddy Tim Wrightman? Stick around to find out.

In case, like me, you're suddenly realizing that NFL players tend to have a shorter life span than most people because of all the head trauma, I want to let you know that I definitely looked into that before starting this article, and don't worry, Tim Wrightman is alive and well. He owns a pheasant preserve and event venue now. I swear to God. I could not write a more pleasant ending for Tim. He literally moved to the farm upstate where our parents pretend to send dogs. Also, he once had a role in a film called Swimsuit, The Movie, which I guarantee you wasn't kind to women and which I now have to watch. Fuck you, Tim, you sexy piece of shit.

Where was I? Oh yeah, hot man teach me football. He begins by reviewing the names of each player's little job. There's Mr. Grabby, run away, run away but faster, throw hard, knock down, knock down left side, knock down right side, ouchie, Mr. Kicks, and Greg. He does a terrible job of explaining this.

Tim and Tom explain the positions to Lois in the same tone of voice you would tell a very delicate child that their goldfish died. It's like they're worried their lady football victim will escape at any moment. Lois reassures them she's having a great time, but I don't believe her. She acts like she's learned just enough about tight ends to know running is no option.
Once Lois understands all of the football men's little jobs, they can show her some game footage and explain to her what is going on during the game. Men love doing this, and honestly, this video deprives so many men of the joy of explaining football to women. It's also depriving women who don't want to listen to men explain football the opportunity to build a beautiful little mind palace that we can go to whenever the topic comes up. A mind palace that may now be inescapable for some. Some of us watching A Women's Guide To Football may be suddenly realizing that their defenses against learning about football are too strong, and they actually can't work past them to hear a single thing said about football, whoops.

You know what this video needs? Tim in some of those tight little football pants. They only wear those yoga pants to try to get women to escape their mind palace and take an interest in football, right? Anyway, Tim looks fabulous in his football costume, and Lois is pulling it off as well. Tom is also there.

In order to really understand football, you have to actually do football, you see. That's why Tim has to pile drive Lois into the dirt. If she doesn't experience the pain of football she will never truly grasp football. Sadly, I'm lying. They did this costume change for no reason other than to help keep my attention, which it is not. This VHS is failing its job of educating women about football. They should have added a dance number. Instead, they all sat down for a while and talked about the choreography some more.

At this point, you might be thinking, wow, how could there possibly be more football to learn? I wish I was dead. My brain is exploding with football knowledge; every person who enjoys this sport cannot be lugging around thirty-six minutes of institutional football knowledge with them at all times. Yet, according to A Women's Guide To Football, they absolutely are. It's time for another costume change. We're finally getting to the dance portion. Tom is the ref now, and we're going to learn about the interpretive dances the refs do to tell the crowd what the football men did football bad. Bees also communicate with each other by dancing. Very creative!

Lois and Tim are great at pretending none of these signals look silly, even hitting below the waist, which, to me, a novice, looks like a man porking an invisible man from behind. Other ref signals include chopping invisible carrots, the hustle, don't touch my snacks, Greg come over here, honk Mr. truck driver, no way sister, and dramatic pointing.

I'm sad to report that no one kisses at the end of this video. Which is, frankly, wild. I hate it when movies end in any other way than that. Instead Lois, Tim and Tom, who is still here for some reason, all sit down to enjoy football and pizza together. I get that Tom was supposed to be the comic relief, and I did not experience an ounce of relief from him. It was an unrelenting wall of football the whole time.

Clearly, I understand football now, and congratulations after reading this article, so do you! We're all football experts. When Mr. Grabby does a run up the middle, we'll be able to shock and impress everyone in attendance at the football show by saying, "Hey! I'm aware of what just happened. I didn't allow my consciousness to flutter away to a beautiful place near the ocean where football doesn't exist. I was here, I was present, and I saw Greg do that fantastic floop of the oval projectile. It's a shame that the ref said no way sister to him." I could football all day! Unfortunately, I have other obligations to attend to and will never football again, instead.

2024-11-27 12:14:48 +0000 UTCGrowing up in bumfuck nowhere Australia, and being neurodivergent and repeatedly uprooted, I had the downright surreal experience of flat out never actually being taught the rules to any sports at all, and just expected to know them by osmosis. I have a soft spot for American football just because the PE teacher actually taught us the rules without expecting us to automatically know them. It's depressing how it's not that hard to actually explain a sport and its appeal to someone, even by accident, and yet so many people actively setting out to do so fail miserably because of their deep rooted contempt for the idea that someone hasn't had exactly their upbringing with it.

2024-11-26 06:42:45 +0000 UTCIn 2019, I was on a road trip, and happened to drive on the highways close to Pennsylvania's Beaver Stadium(which has seats for 106 000 people, or 50% more people than live in my city). Due to random chance, I was lucky enough to time my travels to pass by exactly the same time the last game of the season just finished, when everybody watching decided to leave at the same time. So, no, I refuse to learn the football. During the three hour traffic jam, I realized that this many people wouldn't cluster together just for sports. My bet is it had to be mind control, or maybe a genetically encoded method of spreading some kind of communal brain parasite. And, if I'm being honest, both of those options are better than realizing people would subject themselves to that traffic willingly.

2024-11-26 05:12:34 +0000 UTCDespite being an incredible male specimen who has mastered the power of fear, I admit I know very little about football except that my team is the best (they've only lost once recently!) I am acquaintances with a football-knowing woman, and I have to admit her knowledge of footballing is not only vastly superior to mine, she dresses her cats up in little football jerseys. The cats are basically like "We don't give a shit" in the pictures but I'm worried even they know more about football than me.

2024-11-25 19:57:39 +0000 UTCI understand American football perfectly! You start with rugby league. You only get a four-tackle set, but the count resets if you gain 10 yards. You get one forward pass per tackle. Unlimited interchange players, and the clock stops whenever the ball goes out of play. There you go, I just explained the game to anyone from any other English-speaking country.

2024-11-25 19:18:58 +0000 UTCTrue to my genital configuration any attempt to explain these “sports” as you call them are futile. The big men are too loud and there is far too much pushing and shoving. They should not fight over the ball but instead have a friendly discussion about who gets to hold it.

2024-11-25 17:00:05 +0000 UTCI'm one of them football knowing women. One Thanksgiving in college I crashed at a friend's parent's house instead of traveling home. My friend's uncle also visited and was watching football, I joined him, the uncle changed the channel. I asked him why and he said "I didn't think a girl would like football." I told him I don't mind, watch whatever you want. So the uncle turns the game back on and says "Oh look, they are in the red zone". I reply, without even looking at him, "The red zone is within 20 yards of the goal, they are at the 50 yard line." Uncle didn't speak to me the rest of the day. According to my friend this uncle later came out as gay and admitted he never liked football. Yes he's still kinda sexist

2024-11-25 16:35:59 +0000 UTCMy mom was super into football. My whole childhood, every Sunday revolved around the game schedule. My sister and I would cry and beg to please watch something, anything, else for just an hour. Much later, when I was an adult, she admitted that she just liked watching all those men in tight pants. And you know what? I can respect that.

2024-11-25 15:27:10 +0000 UTCDon't feel bad, I'm a man and I can't force myself to give a shit about football, either. Even during my phase where I pretended to give a shit about sports.

2024-11-25 14:07:28 +0000 UTCLadies and football, am I right? Lucy Ball had to be told what football was in a 1972 episode of "Here's Lucy." She would only let her son play after Joe Namath told her how safe it is. She should have known about football because she was in a Three Stooges short "Three Little Pigskins" 38 years earlier.
