Atlanta Falcons female advice coming from a female

Well if she's not into it, chances are she never will be. But nevertheless, I do have a few tips.

For me, what makes it more interesting is getting to go to the games and being able to ask him questions. Many women don't like sports because they don't understand all of the rules. Being there for your wife or girlfriend to answer questions really helps.

Which also goes along with another tip: don't tell her to shut up and just watch the game. Talk to her. Make it an interactive experience. If you just zone out with your beer and chips, she's not going to have as much fun.
