A person can learn about a sport and come to like it through a WAG. Just saying. It's how I learned Football, because despite growing up in an American home, it wasn't until I realized that Gisele Bundchen was at that point married to one of them that I was like "huh, must be interesting."
If you've actively gotten into Football because of Taylor Swift, Hailee Steinfeld, or Olivia Culpo, or Simone Biles, or any other WAG, welcome. It's a really really complicated game of catch. Don't call it that to some people's faces, they will get very angry. You can cry when your team loses, you can cry when the other team has an underdog story. I cried like a baby over Brock Purdy. It's fun. Sports are fun.
If you got into F1 because of Nicole Scherzinger, first of all, hi, you're a real trooper. If you got into F1 because of Shakira, or Taylor, or Carmen or Alexandra, or Lily, or Charlotte, or Isa, or Rebecca, welcome. The sport is insanely toxic also. But like it's really fun to play "Are they gay or just European?" The cars are fast, they're insane, and they compete at a scale that is practically unheard of for a sport. They are the top 20. You can have a favorite driver and a different favorite team. You can have a favorite team principal. You can think a penalty is absolute trash, or that one was warranted. You can think some tracks are better than others. You can run the race on high speed if you watch it after the fact.
It's a valid way to join the sport. I promise.
Women bring women together in so many capacities. My friend got her first job because she went to a networking event for women in a field dominated by men. Why can't women bring women into sports?
Folks, there's nothing like the toxic yuri of the NFC South, *especially* the HATRED between the Falcons and Saints. My god it's amazing how two girls can hate each other soooo much
There was no good news for the Panthers in their season opener as they get clobbered by the Saints at the Superdome in New Orleans. Panthers 2nd year QB Bryce Young threw 2 interceptions and was sacked three times and the Panthers looked very much like they did in their dismal 2023 season where they finished 2-15. 😬
