Wives Don’t Have to be Against Sports

So, we’ve all probably heard plenty about Women Against Fantasy Sports at this point (or maybe they just keep popping up within the material I keep tabs on). There’s nothing wrong with that pursuit. They’re just having fun with something that can be a point of contention for plenty of couples.
Well, there could be another way around the contentiousness, and it doesn’t have to involve anyone being against anything.
Paula Duffy, whom you might know as the National Sports Examiner, also runs a site called IncidentalContact.com, where she reaches out to women who want to learn more about sports.
The final paragraph on the “About Us” page states: “Incidental Contact was formed to bring the news to women who still can’t find the right guy or who want to make friends with whom they can share a laugh, a hobby and feel comfortable in the friendly surroundings of sports bars. Women learn better from other women, especially in the subject matters at which men have excelled for generations. There is no fear of seeming stupid. The method of learning is tailored to women and it works. It’s truly a girlfriend network based on sports: Incidental Contact, LLC.”
Duffy has also created “Woman’s Guides” to baseball, football and basketball, and even offers audio versions on her site.
