This is basically for guys, i'm a girl, and i like to learn about things. Even if i don't like something, i still think its neat to learn about it so that i don't just go and say that i don't like something and be ignorant about it. So Football... is something that i don't understand. And i don't LIKE it... because i can't understand it. LOL. It's more of a frustration type thing. Well... i'm trying to learn about the positions and all etc. But all the guys keep making fun of me for even trying... So my question is...
Is this a hopeless cause for me to TRY and learn football? Or should i keep on going? What do you guys think? Do you like it if a girl tries to learn football? Or do you think that she's automatically hopeless? Sorry if that was confusing....

football is easy as hell, easier than baseball cuz it has all these abbreviations like rbi and others...all football has is 4 quarters, 4 downs, yards to first down, and positions. Its harder if u actually are trying to play it cuz the routes and plays and rules like holding are more difficult to remember

keep learning and training, there were some BUILT girls that used to play football in my old middle school. haha it was always funny to see them tackle someone because usually they could've taken down anyone.

Last year... I knew absolutely NOTHING about football... the positions, how to play... the rules... and now? I know it all. I understand it.
It doesn't hurt that I'm such an avid Patriots fan so I keep learning more and more... |

i love football. i'm a girl, i've grown up with 3 sisters, my mom and my dad. all our lives my sisters and i have grown up watching football and being tomboys (we've still got our femine sides, though) i'll get out there and play with the guys. i dunno if this is a good or bad thing, but some of 'em are kinda scared of me cause they know i'll kick their ass. i've just grown up knowing it, so i understand pretty much all the terms and stuff. i love the sport.
