Lesson 11
More women are watching Super Bowl.
Women don’t like commercials as much as men.
In the last ten years, the percentage of women watching the Super Bowl between the ages of 18-54 has increased by nearly 10%. This is according to an article in ADWEEK Magazine and Nielsen Research, the company that runs TV and Cable Ratings. http://www.adweek.com/aw/content_display/news/agency/e3i38c60ff3da19ea86511ec2e311f86bd8
The 2008 Super Bowl was viewed by the following:
46 million of the viewers were men, aged 18 and older.
38 million of the viewers were women, aged 18 and older.
Research shows that women don't seem to enjoy the Super Bowl commercials as much as men.
This study showed that 7% of the commercials were better liked by women than by men.
On the flip side, 25% of all the commercials were better liked by men than women.
A possible reason for this disparity, ADWEEK reports that 35% of the commercials targeted men.

Lesson 10
If Chicks ran the National Football League: From femmefan.com
The Superbowl would always be held on a Saturday because it's a better
day to party.
The day after the Superbowl would become a National Holiday in
observance of America's overindulgence.
All unsold seats would be given away to youth groups in the community,
and the NFL and TV Networks would pick up the tab.
These are just a few thoughts written by a Ivette Ricco, a huge
football fan, who founded and operates a provocative website,
http://www.femmefan.com/. If you are a woman and really want to know
football, check out her site and her story. (She also posts some
entertaining pictures on her site, like lockeroom lookers.)
In 1999, Ivette Ricco, then Vice President of a financial services
company, decided the time was right to provide the female fan a place
on the web that covered sports from the female’s unique perspective.
Ivette, an avid football fan since her teen years in New York,
realized that there were many women, like her, following sports on a
regular basis, but nothing was available to meet their needs. Even
team apparel wasn’t available in women’s sizes, forcing the female fan
to try and fit into logo apparel meant for 300-pound men. And thus an
idea was born, and in March of 2000 Femmefan.com was launched.
Women have invested in their favorite sport (emotionally,
intellectually, and financially), for years; but their passion,
commitment and interest is quite different than that of their male
counterparts.
Women, although avid about sports, are not nearly as intrigued by the
unending statistics and scores as men are. Women want to know about
the people in the uniforms, their lives, their families, and what
makes them tick. Women want to view their athletic “icons” in a human
way, “Up Close and Personal”. This concept has enabled Femmefan to stand-alone in the world of Sports-related web sites, and has earned Femmefan a large and loyalfollowing.
Femmefan’s articles, written by women and men, combine humor, and
passion; with a little “dirt” thrown in for good measure. Femmefan
subscribes to the theory that games are meant to be fun, and we are
always about having a good time. Sometimes humorous, other times edgy and provocative, but never boring – Femmefan.com is the premier on-line magazine for the female sports junkie (guys love us too!)

Lesson 9 -Purchase DVD at http://iamawomanandiknowfootball.com/id47.html
Which college football team has the most in common with Heidi Klum and Project Runway? http://bravotv.com/project-runway
Or- What's green, black, white, yellow and runs all over the place?
Answer
The University of Oregon football team. http://goducks.com/
The Oregon Ducks are the fashion plates of college football. It can be argued that they wear the coolest or the ugliest uniforms in all of sports. They have 80 different color combinations with high tech, lightweight, material manufactured by Nike. http://nike.com/ Nike is based in Beaverton, Oregon, which is near Eugene, the home of University of Oregon.
Other articles about the uniforms can be read at:
