What the actual fuck.
It’s fine if you’re a female and you want to be a super-fan. Clearly go for it, that’s your choice. But there is something to be said for how appealing that might be to the other sex. Having a woman that’s such a fan, like painting your face, tuning in to every podcast. I don’t know how many males would be into that.”
It’s great that in Kansas City there are a lot of women in the stands, it’s great, but for the guy who wants maybe a serious relationship… If you are following just casually, but if you’re such a die-hard, I don’t know, it comes a point that it is a bit of a turn-off.
This is a quote from Simon Borg on an official MLS podcast. Yes, because my love of the game is all for and about you, bro. And as a woman, I definitely don’t have to try extra-hard at sports fandom to be taken seriously about it. >:(
I thought guys liked that. Whatever, I’ll just be a lesbian.
-______- what
What a twat.
So…my attempts to find a husband at soccer games have been tragically misguided THIS ENTIRE TIME? I thought there would be a gentleman there who might take note of my mating ritual facepaint. I thought they would find my vigorous yelling and scarf-waving to prove that I was physically robust and could withstand the rigors of childbirth. I thought that my clever chants would demonstrate my alluring intellect and wit, so that someone, perhaps even Simon himself, would be enticed into conversing with me and then would ask for my number and take me away from all those sweaty hooligans.
You know, instead of thinking that I did these things because it’s FUCKING 2012 AND WOMEN CAN LIKE WHAT THEY WANT, AND GENDERING THE WAYS WE EXPRESS OUR APPRECIATION IS DUMB. I HAD NO IDEA I WAS SUPPOSED TO SIT THERE AND DEMURELY CLAP WHILE THE MENFOLK TOOK CARE OF THE CHEST-THUMPING. Thanks for the tip, Simon. I’ll be sure to curb my enthusiasm in the future. Perhaps my Mr. Darcy is already waiting!
^I love you.
