I never
thought I would like football as much as I do now. When I was younger, I would try to get out
of the room if anyone was watching sports.
My father was a diehard Saints fan and they were displayed on our
television screen at every opportunity. Sometimes I would sit next to him and watch a game, but never fully
understand why people liked this particular sport. Don’t get me wrong, I did like basketball; what girl doesn’t?
I didn’t get into football until my
eldest son became the starting quarterback his sophomore year of high
school. I figured, I better learn the game
and understand the rules since I would be sitting on bleachers every
Friday. I really bought into the whole
football thing. I became that ‘football
mother’ and have a genuine love for the game.
