This Female Baseball Fan Expertly Ripped the Dude Who Questioned Her Knowledge of the Game
Don’t be that guy.
Here’s a piece of advice that might seem obvious: When a woman tells you that she likes sports, don’t be a dick about it. Honestly, it’s good practice to not be a dick in general, but sometimes you’ve have to be really specific for some men to understand.
