The Chicks' Guide to Football

by Carol Stout

Feeling ignored on Sunday afternoon and Monday night? Think your man communicates more with the quarterback than with you? Maybe you’re just ready to tackle the sport, after always hearing words like “offsides,” “touchback” and “scrimmage” thrown around during the game while never truly understanding what they mean. Even if you’re already a professional fan, this book is just for you! Welcome to The Chicks’ Guide to Football, a comprehensive manual to America’s most popular sport. Written by a woman, for women, this book is designed to take a complicated sport, throw away the macho, testosterone-ridden stereotype, and dissect the game so female fans can really understand it! No matter what level of fan-hood you are on -- beginner, intermediate or advanced -- you’ll learn about the history of the sport, team profiles, plays, procedure, rules and regulations. If knowledge is power, this book will provide enough technical know-how and football jargon for the reader to impress, and even test, the most devoted male fan. Many other surprises await you in “The Chicks’ Guide” – a great way to make game day fun for all!
