2. When your team loses a big game, it REALLY makes you mad.
Being “half-tom boy and half-girly girl” causes extreme internal conflict when your team loses a big game. When the Mets lost Game 3 of the Subway Series this season, I got legitimately mad. I went in my room and sat there. The typical frustration and anger that men feel somehow translates to utter b*tchiness in women.
1. My personal favorite: Guys think you are in it for the players.
Yes, I think David Wright is the most attractive man I have ever seen. Yes, I would love to go on a date with Noah Syndergaard, and I would love a hug from Blake Griffin. But, NO, that is not the reason I watch the sport. I have watched baseball since I was six and unable to process the attractiveness of a player. I watch any level of play now because I do not go for the baseball pants. I will watch baseball when I am married, washed up, and old and wrinkly. Honestly, I am more concerned with your back shoulder dropping in your swing than the way you look in your uniform.
Your favorite teams make it these struggles tolerable. Cheer loud, girl.
