    Description

    Every Sunday afternoon in the living rooms of America, from the first week of September through the end of December, some 40,000,000 men are seated in front of their television sets watching football. It's a ritual that is as old as televised sports & as predictable as a sunrise. Yet it is a subject that has never been thoroughly explored in any book intended for mass consumption in the U.S. -- until now. "Why Men Watch Football" is designed to answer the question once & for all: Why is it that a man will sit down for six hours in front of the television set when football games are on, yet he won't sit still for more than 10 minutes at a time for anything else? What's the big attraction? What needs are being met? This book answers all these questions in a clear, convincing manner. The author interviewed football fans all across the U.S., as well as psychiatrists, sociologists & psychologists in various U.S. cities. The book is a serious psychological study of the male mind; it is enlivened with dozens of examples & anecdotes & tempered with humor. It is illustrated with photos of excited football fans.
