Did I mention that I enjoy sports like my husband? I have my seat at Duck football games and I cheer on Ducks basketball, Mariners baseball, Seahawk football, etc. I have also found a renewed love of Blazers basketball. My question is, as a female sports fan, am I allowed to yell at the refs and cuss at my television? I have a few opinions about this, some of which my husband disagrees with.
Dennis says that you should only get excited during important games and that college football and basketball games have more ramifications then a professional sports game. This may be true, but I say every game is important and that you can really get into it. Lately I find myself watching every Blazers basketball game on tv and yelling at the refs for their inappropriate calls. I am told that I should not get so involved, but isn't that the definitions of a true sports fan?
I probably will find myself blogging about sports a little more this winter since as I said I am the wife of a sport's fanatic. Few warnings if you ever watch a game with me, I get into it and don't let me have too much alcohol during a Duck loss because I might let a few words fly, or I might do the same thing sober. Bottom line, it's okay to get excited even if one loss doesn't matter in the end; every game is important just like every moment in life is precious!

Carrie, I'm totally with you on this one. Yelling at the refs and saying how stupid they are is all part of the fun. If I were a ref, I would be ticked if people didn't yell at me and call me stupid--it's what you do to the ref. And I always get into it also, except instead of swearing I (usually) punch couches. What can I say? And for the record, I learned all this behavior from MY MOTHER, who also yells at the refs.
What?!? Nearly a month, and no posts?!? I know you've got more to say than that. We need to hear you opining on salient subjects.
