Football widow
A football widow is a term for those who have a relationship with a sports fan (often a follower of football, be it American football, soccer, rugby, Australian rules football or other) who pays more attention to the game than to their partner during the sport's season of play. Football widows are usually, but not always, women. Usually the "widow" has little interest in the sport themselves.
Although it is widely tolerated and not considered a serious disruption by many, dedication to following the sport (such as watching game broadcasts on television) can disrupt home life and the relationship between the couple in question.
Jake Plummer has strengthened his relationship to his wife, a former Denver Broncos cheerleader, by not dicussing, attending or viewing any NFL football games on Sunday. Jake's home life has improved significantly since his retirement, and he has been excited to spend more time with his former Football Widow wife, and also improve his handball career.
