How do you turn your wife/girlfriend/significant other onto fantasy football and sports in general? It's simple, really. The answer is knowledge -- on their terms.
Paula Duffy, our National Sports Examiner, is a leader in handling the challenge of converting left-out women into knowledgeable sports lovers. She has been featured on MSNBC Live, FOX Business, and the Huffington Post. Paula's website, Incidental Contact, is dedicated to helping women "learn to love sports." She offers several services on the site, including instructional audio books, printed sports guides, and personal or group training sessions.
But what if your spouse is always nagging you to stop watching games and checking your roster because she sees sports as stupid and a waste of time? Or maybe she claims the whole Men are from Mars thing. Here's what Paula has to say about that:
"Women who tell me it’s a guy thing are either afraid to learn or look down on it as if they themselves were only involved in high brow entertainment, you know like Desperate Housewives or Oprah. If they are at least open to it they usually find that once it’s brought down to its most basic of levels they are fine with it as long as they can learn it THEIR way and not be ridiculed as the process goes along. Hearing it from a woman rather than a man is an easier sell."
So, if your "fantasy widow" is feeling neglected, don't just settle for agreeing to disagree on the importance of sports. Enlist Paula's help and show that special someone why she should be interested in sports along with you. Otherwise, don't be surprised to see her join the Dark Side.
