My wife doesn't like football either but I also do a lot of other shite when its NOT football season so she won't bitch when football season rolls around.

My GF hates all sports, but she lets me watch and uses that time for herself to do things that I don't really care for.
We have a ton of other things in common so it's not a huge deal. Make sure that before or after the LSU / Saints games you take time to have brunch with her or help her with the garden, etc.

My wife doesn't care for sports at all. She deals with it. Granted I don't really watch the NFL and NBA. I do watch every LSU football game, some LSU bball, a lot of LSU baseball and watched over 100 Astros games this year. She reads while I watch sports.

I have scaled back since my single days which was football all day Saturday and Sunday. Now, I watch every LSU and Saints game and maybe 1-2 other games depending on the matchups. I also watch MNF too. This is a huge decreases from my norm. So I have cut down. But she still disapproves and wants to get rid of DirecTV all together which is not going to happen.
What. The. frick. What kind of princess are you married to?

This is the OT. So I expected a lot of immature responses from kids and the one freak. Just have to weed through the non sense to get to the reasonable responses.
Sounds like there are a lot of other guys here in the same boat as me. I appreciate the input and advice.
Thanks.

Divorce is your only option. My wife and I do separate things all the time. Thank God we're not up each other's asses every minute of the day .

My wife doesn't watch but doesn't care.
Honestly, I'm not the macho type on here like other guys pose as, but if you're truly not watching it more than in the past, you need to tell her she has known all along this is your thing, and you won't listen to any more complaining on her part,and it's a non issue on your end, and actually follow through with that line every time she brings it up.
Granted she sounds like the type that won't take well to that, but there aren't many other viable options at this point.

I guess a better question is how do I get her to like football more.
I didn't really like football before. I always had impatient boyfriends that never cared to explain any of it to me and I wasn't motivated to learn on my own. I liked it once I could figure out what the hell was happening. That and fantasy football.

My SO went to one football game during her four years at LSU, and left at halftime. She casually follows the Saints as a matter of civic pride, but that's it. Fortunately, it hasn't been a source of conflict so far. She has her weekend activities, I have mine. I make a special point of taking an interest in things she likes the rest of the year.

My wife knows I watch LSU and the Saints. She wanted to learn more about Football to watch with me. So I taught her and explained what was going on. She did not want to know all of the ins and outs just enough to understand the game better.
Now she will watch the Saints and LSU and have fun with everybody hanging out.
As far as other Football, I do not really watch much and if a game I want to watch is coming up, I let her know and she will make plans at the same time.

Damn. Go outside and enjoy the weekend instead of sitting in front of the TV so much.

It definitely has its moments that suck. Our first LSU Bama game together was the 9-6 game. I figure if we could make it through that and all the Alabama LSU games that have happened since then, we've got a good thing going here.
It helps that I have LSU grads in the family and I am actually somewhat partial to LSU when they aren't playing Bama. SOs family hates Bama and doesn't miss an opportunity to remind me of that but I try to take it lightly.
We do a pretty good job of dealing with it and moving on either way. The 9-6 game was tough but it would've been a lot worse if I would've sulked about it and ruined the rest of our night. She's basically a saint for dealing with me after other Alabama games though (OU, OSU, Ole Miss this year) that we watched together or went to.

Join a fantasy football league. Even if she doesn't bring it up, tell her she (or women) can't be league members. Through reverse psychology, she will want to join your league. Allow her in the league and before long she will be watching football games too.

My wife knows I like to watch certain games every week especially if I have money on the game. If it's an exciting game, she'll watch. Otherwise she will work around the hose til the game is over.
It makes it easier here on the Left Coast because the games I care about are usually over by early evening so we can still go out and do whatever.

Your SO is selfish. Football season is not very long and it also coincides with the Holiday season. Its apart of the American way of life.
this is not your problem, but her problem. If she has an issue with it she needs to go find a guy that is not into it. I can only imagine he would be someone who is a bigger douche than you. She will then realize her faults and come running back.
she needs to figure it out on her own. Sorry she needs to cheat on you but that is the only way you are allowed a positive outcome to this.
the good news to this is if you decide to take her back you should be given a hall pass or two to go get some strange. good luck in that not messing up her head even more.
