I would say generally that if you had a 50 men and 50 women you'd have a greater overall knowledge of football from the men than the women. That's the thing about generalizations. They are often correct. BUT they are used/understood completely incorrectly. To say that men in general kow more about football than women is not earth shattering. To say that women CANNOT understand football is dumb. To say a particular woman DOES NOT know football simply because she is a woman is dumb. To say there are NO women who know football is dumb. The generalization about men knowing football better than women has nothing to do with a particular woman. It is pretty much a statistical issue.
