When I was in high school I taught myself how to play/understand football. I watched any and all games during the season and officially started liking the Packers in high school after watching several games and liking how they played. But it wasn't just the Packers games that I enjoyed, I also enjoyed watching other games because I was still learning. But the more I learned the more I realized that being a girl and loving football is hard but I don't care. It's my escape.
1. You probably taught yourself the game.
And you're super proud of that.
2. You look forward to game days more than anything.
3. You actually know what you're talking about.
And you know the positions. But people probably still won't take you seriously because you're a girl.
4. You love to talk smack to the other team/fans.
But you only yell when you know you're right because if you're not then it's super awkward.
5. Knowing the players' names is like second nature.
P.S. I have a new favorite player!

6. Also, knowing the lingo and the hand signals from the refs is second nature as well.
7. You wear a jersey because you're a true fan, not a groupie.
And this is very important to you.
8. Putting down your phone during the game is easy.
9. But sometimes you need to get a shot.
But only because you're excited to be there not bored or wanting attention.
10. When you see others just on the phone the whole time or constantly taking photos it irritates you.
Because why are they there in the first place.
11. Most of your girlfriends don't understand the game.
And they don't understand why your so into, or obsessed, with football.
12. Football is your escape from the real world.
But when you tell people they look at you like you're crazy.
13. You'd rather watch a game then go out.
Because football is more important.
14. You look forward to your teams first game of the season.
Even if you can't be there in person.
15. You just love football and that's it.
