My thoughts:
Football is a big deal here in my house, with me being the biggest fan. I grew up watching it on tv and watching the high school team. I pretty much learned as I watched and I can tell you that I didn’t understand it 100%. Until now that is, thanks to VF Castro’s The Modern Girl’s Guide To The Gridiron. If you want to be able to understand the game better? Or maybe just understand it enough to be able to watch a game and actually enjoy it. Then this is totally the book for you!
VF Castro does a great job of taking you through the history of the game, rules, positions and how the players are picked and helps football novices understand America’s favorite sport. This book makes it easy for everyone to understand this fabulous game! It’s the perfect read and perfect gift!
About the book:
Since its birth, football has been largely regarded as a man’s sport. But that’s all changed, and fortunately for the ladies, in addition to being womanly, cleavage-bearing, arm candy, we’re also tackling roles where we use every part of our brain, and project that knowledge without hesitation. As a sports journalist, I found that several of the biggest problems for some women regarding football, were breaking the language barrier, explaining the process, and dissecting the terms. This is where The Modern Girls’ Guide to the Gridiron – Second Edition comes in: a comprehensive guide on all things football, with exciting, unfiltered analysis and references to subjects that relate to women. This book begins with the history of how the game evolved, to the high school recruiting process; all thirty-two NFL teams; the Canadian Football League; and the rules, positions, scandals, sanctions, X’s, O’s, and more. With player contributions, hard-hitting, outside-the-box, witty, and vivid explanations; whether you’re a novice fan, or a seasoned veteran, this book is sure to amp your arsenal of football knowledge — the best accessory you could wear on Game Day.
