This journal article discusses the reality that, despite popular opinion, female fans are just as knowledgable as male fans. This will present another example of evidence that contradicts the commonly held opinion that female fans are mostly into sports for the attractive guys.
I am not sure whether I will be actually able to use this article, because it does not appear when I click on the link from PennText. However, from the abstract in EBSCO, it seems like it would fit right in with my argument that female fan cultures affect gender norms. It is a TV Guide Survey of NFL female fans, with attention being drawn toward the affects that female fans have had on the NFL, particularly in its product line.
