I Love Football. I Also Think It's Eating Your Weekend and Your Family Doesn't Know How to Tell You.

from The Unhinged Father · host The Unhinged Father

Robbie played football in high school. He's a Packers fan. He has cheeseheads in the background of his recording setup. He is not coming after football as a sport. He is coming after the specific version of football fandom where an entire Saturday and Sunday disappears into a couch and a screen while your family orbits around you waiting for the game to end.This is the episode that will probably make some dads defensive. Good. That means it landed. Robbie makes a direct, honest case for why the time football consumes — especially for dads with young kids — is worth examining before you defend it automatically. He's not saying stop watching. He's asking whether the current setup is actually working for your family.Topics covered: the time math of being a full college and NFL football fan and what that actually costs your family every single week, Robbie's personal experience with football and why his relationship with it changed after having kids, the difference between being a fan and letting a sport run your household schedule, how to still enjoy football without it becoming the organizing principle of your weekends, and the honest conversation most football-loving dads haven't had with their partners yet.Send a message about the episode!
