Sports Widow A sports widow is a term for a disenfranchised spouse or significant other of a sports fan (often an enthusiastic fan of football, baseball, basketball, golf, hockey, soccer, tennis, bowling, cycling, poker or rugby) who pays more attention to a sport,favorite team, specific game or player than to their partner during the sport's season of play.

Sports widows are usually, but not always, women. Usually the "widow" has little interest in the sport themselves.

Although it is widely tolerated and not generally considered a serious disruption by many, dedication to following the sport (such as attending sports events, watching game broadcasts on television, managing fantasy sports teams, or betting on on game outcomes) can disrupt home life and the relationship between the couple in question. --Davidlsharp 02:18, 16 September 2007 (UTC) --Davidlsharp 02:22, 16 September 2007 (UTC)--Davidlsharp 02:32, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
