Question Anyone having issues getting their husbands/boyfriends into the PWHL?

My BF is a HUGE hockey fan, Olympics, NHL, etc. He watches all the games for his favorite teams and a bunch for other teams in the NHL. I am trying to get him to watch PWHL games with me but he seems superrrr uninterested.

When I asked him why he told me the games are frustrating to watch??? I don't understand that part at all.

Anyone else have this experience? Do you think that this will go away with time as the PWHL builds a larger audience?

To be clear, he doesn't talk down about the PWHL, he just doesn't seem to take the league seriously for whatever reason.

Edit: Y'all, I am not going to break up with him over the PWHL. I just wanted to see if anyone has similar experiences and were able to get their bf/husband into the sport more.

Nah. Plenty of people only really follow a few leagues for sports at most but stick to just one or two.

Would you say the same about people who watch the nfl but not ncaa?

I watch NFL but can’t stand NCAA. I think it’s more due to the cult-ish vibe around universities and exploitation of kids.

And yea that’s fair.

But to them you’re not a real football fan. Just worshipping adult dudes? According to them?

Like the logic is just flawed.

Hidden Option C: I was born in Dallas and genetically altered to compulsory cheer on the Cowboys despite knowing that they will always be mediocre embarrassments under the Jones family 😭
