Why We Love And Fear Sports Fanatic Girls

Seeing as the four major sport leagues are strictly male only, they regularly define sport fanatics. Most guys change “what’s on their mind” through Facebook statuses or Twitter every couple of minutes during a game featuring their favorite team or city. Progressively, there has been a rise in the amount of women who are starting to become emboldened sports fans. Many girls are accused of being bandwagon fans or clueless, but there are girls out there who are true sport fans down to their bones.

Guys love to call out these girls on their statuses or on twitter while remaining ignorant of the fact that there truly are different kinds of sport fans for girls. They break down like this:

The O-M-G and Hearts – Girl

If you emulate this girl whatsoever, you need to promptly stop watching sports. You are banned from ever making your Facebook status or tweeting about your team winning and are explicitly prohibited from talking about sports in public ever again. This “sports fan” is probably that imbecilic girl who makes the similar mistake Facebook constantly makes: when the New York Giants win, Facebook says your friends are talking about the “San Francisco Giants,” ergo, she’s making her status “YEAH SAN FRAN!!!” This girl probably uses hearts, exclamation points, and an emoticon if she’s feeling real excited.

Now were not saying you can’t use those things if you get excited for your team, but if you use a kissy face to show your excitement, please do not feel offended when you have one less friend or follower after this lapse of judgment.  We appreciate you trying and we appreciate your interest, but read something or at least watch half an hour of Sports Center so you don’t continuously embarrass yourself. You wouldn’t randomly raise your hand in class to answer a question about a book you didn’t read, would you? NO. Not only do you not impress any guys, but you also look idiotic to both women and men.

The Sports As An Interest – Girl

This is probably the most down to earth girl as she sees sports as an everyday interest. She’s not trying to argue with you when you’re talking about the best point guard in the NBA, but she will tell you, as a fact, that the Oklahoma City Thunder are going to be in the NBA finals this year. When she gets excited after a big win like a Knicks vs. Celtics game or a Penguins vs. Capitals game, she’ll probably make a simple comment boasting in your face, a status or a tweet bragging about her city or team, but why complain?

She’s only supporting the same thing you are and best of all she isn’t 1- sounding like a total OMG !!! moron <3, and 2- isn’t trying to recap the game in an annoying manner by giving out the stats. She is the most accepted in the women’s world of sport fanatics, so embrace her, and see it as a positive thing: she’ll probably be down for the sports bar too once in a while.

The Softball Playing Statistic Screaming – Girl

If you have yet to take a sports class at a college or university, let us explain the type of girls you will unfortunately encounter.  There will be the girls who are completely ignorant of the ins and outs of sports and are in the class because they heard it was borderline easy and teeming with guys. Then there are the girls truly who possess an interest in sports and figure it’s better to take compared to Introduction to Anthropology. Even further we have the scary, angry, over passionate girls.  They roll their eyes when guys talk about teams they don’t like and decide that they need to yell their point in front of everyone in order to confirm their sports prowess.

These are the girls who have ESPN as their homepage for their computers and are on the iPhone ScoreCenter app more than they even text message or make phone calls. They know a lot about sports and are willing to shut any guy up who says something that’s even the least bit incorrect, especially before they have time to correct themselves. They LOVE basketball and they want EVERYONE to know it. They play the sport, they follow the professionals, and they are going to strive for a job in the profession so there is no stopping them. Try to avoid them, ignore them, but make sure not to agree with them.

By agreeing, you are only asking for a longer conversation that may lead her into asking you trivial questions about your common team, questions you wouldn’t even imagine such as: “who was the second GM of the Seattle SuperSonics?” Save yourself and stick to your guy friends.
