What to do when you hate football and everyone else wants to watch

I hate football. Sports are not my thing. I’m not into watching them live or on TV. Or playing sports myself.

But I know lots of people are very into sports – especially football. I can’t keep track of all of the team names – NFL or college?  And I can’t match teams to the city or university.

The only football player I can name is Tom Brady and that’s only because my friend Nicole has huge hate for him.  Apparently, he ruins her birthday every year.  I love Nicole – and birthdays – and so I hate Tom Brady, too.

I watched the Super Bowl with her and her husband.   It was my first time ever watching a whole football game – and it was Nicole’s birthday.  I was so very bored.  And Nicole got pissed at Mr. Brady, the birthday ruiner.

So when she asked me to come over for the kickoff of college football, I came prepared.

It was the University of Florida Gators vs Miami Hurricanes.  Nicole and her husband are both from Gainesville, Gators territory, so I knew which team we wanted to win.  I also knew they were going to actually be watching the game.  So I came prepared.

I brought beer I knew I’d like.  I’m a picky beer drinker, but Founder’s Mas Agave tastes like a margarita.  Yum!

I also packed a tote bag with coloring books, glitter crayons, pens, notebooks and my planner.

Yup, I brought drinks and items to entertain myself like a toddler.

My nest has recently emptied and I was super excited to spend the evening with my friends, even if I hate football.  I happily colored, made to do lists and planned out my week while they watched the game.

Both of my girls saw photos on my Snapchat story of a TV with football on it.  They each reached out in concern.  Why are you watching football?  Are you okay?  Have you been kidnapped?  Do you even know what teams are playing?

I picked up some tidbits about the game, enjoyed the company and created some masterpieces.

    I played in college. I am nearing 40. The game is stupid. I just went to a bar because I like their fries. Forgot it was Sunday afternoon. Overran bar with rabid football fans. I just wanted a beer and fries. How I forgot what Sunday afternoons are like at bars in the fall. Loved your post. I should bring a board game or coloring books to a bar next Sunday.

    I could not agree with you more. The game is so slow and the fans are so over zealous. I hope one day it will fade away and a more interesting past time will emerge.
