Comedian Bill Burr was a guest on Conan O’Brien’s show Tuesday night, and he offered an interesting take on female NFL fans. I’m guessing most female football fans won’t find it all that humorous.
While Burr was discussing his football-watching schedule (he DVRs games so he has an NFL game to watch almost every single night of the week), he touched on why he feels women are trying to take over the NFL.
“You know what makes women happy? Nothing,” Burr said. “And that is why they are slowly taking over the NFL. Because it annoys them that we can sit there with pizza and a drink like, ‘That’s not holding!’ and enjoy ourselves.”
It sounded like Burr was only ragging on women, but he was also calling men dumb.
“They’re jealous of how simple the male brain can be,” he added. “We can just sit there and find true happiness and it bugs them, so they have to try and ruin it.”
My wife would tell you that football brings me the opposite of true happiness, but that’s because I’m currently rooting for the Patriots offense, have two fantasy football teams, make weekly NFL picks and may or may not place a small wager every now and then. That’s a perfect formula for sadness. I need some of whatever Burr is sipping on.
