Celebrating the love of Football … From a woman’s perspective – Download PDF
The game ignores some of the most ardent fans…
“Google” or otherwise search to find statistics about women who love football. Try to find how many women buy tickets and attend games. You will find that there is little information to support your query.
Women have been contributing to the sport for decades. We are mothers of players, daughters of players, sisters of players, player’s wives and girlfriends. In some cases we are semi pro or recreational players. Some of us have rebelled since the 50’s when relegated to cheerleading squads in spite of our playing ability. We were passionate football fans for every level of the game before “POP WARNER” was the sport’s national equalizer of little-boy leagues. Admittedly, some of us enjoy driving our sons to football practice, being team “moms” who bake cookies and make lemonade, but our love of the sport frequently only begins at that level. Our collective experiences at community parks, in the neighborhoods, at high school, college and at NFL game sites make WOMEN ON THE BALL a paraphrase for successful women who LOVE football.
There is a culture of women who are 40+ who have been in love with the sport and the people who play it for so long that they are experts. As capable as any man in efforts to predict the outcome of the best in college rivalries and competent to offer commentary or insight, women football fanatics are an audience segment waiting to be“tapped.”
Most of us are college graduates.We are successful professionals often married to other successful professionals. We are willing to pay significant dollars to buy game tickets, travel to see our favorite teams play, and to dress in fashionable colors that reflect our fan loyalty. We host football parties, buy food and beveragesto be served at tailgate parties and at our homes. It is time to give us the recognition that we are due. It is a great moment to consider us as an overlooked audience segment who have significant purchasing power.
