Sidebar...so as you well know tonight is game 4 of the NBA Finals between the LA Lakers and Boston Celtics and if you're a guy I'm sure you have been glued to the tv from the beginning of the playoffs. It seems to me that guys are molded to be natural sports fans from an early age. Women not so much. So what is it that keeps us women glued to the tv along with the guys during big games like this?? We at sidebar have come up with the reasons (these are geared specifically for the playoffs but of course could be applied to any sport)

1) Reason number one is that we women love to watch sweaty athletic men run around on the court. What woman doesn't like to watch sexy men with strong muscular arms and legs run around and chest bump and slap each other on the ass?? I mean you must be crazy if you don't like that.

2) Reason number two, we like to be around our significant other (of which I do not have). However, or those of us women who are taken or involved with someone, I'm sure you like to spend time with your man. And what better way to spend time with him than during the finals. Now I know he probably wont be paying you much attention but it is a time to just be around him. And for most women, these are the times that we appreciate.

3) Reason number 3, we have a crush on a certain player that is playing in the big game. I know every woman has watched a game and was like "oh damn who's # whatever...he is FINE!!!!". And you thus proceeded to watch that team just because of that player. And if you say you haven't, no one will believe you because we all do it. No need to front.

4) Reason number four, we may actually be sports fans. I know this sounds crazy but there are some of these women that exist. Its rare, but they do exist.

So if you're a guy reading this, just know that if you invite a woman to watch a game with you, she will be doing so based on one or all of these reasons. I hope this answers any questions about women and sports. Until next time.-azureDizzle
