Sports Nuts
Get Shelled

By Abigail Van Buren —

© 1979 by Chicago Trloune-l.¥. News Bynd. Inc.

DEAR ABBY: AMY'S POP asked what you thought the —

chances were fora happy marriage between Amy and Jerry,
her flance, a regular sports nut. Jerry ate, drank, slept, talk-
ed, read and lived sports, but Amy didn’t share his en-
thusiam. AMY'S POP said he tried to tell her that guys who

lived for sports made poor husbands and worse fathers, but —

she wasn't buying it. You told Dad to back off.

Well, my husband is a sports nut. He watches sports on
TV every chance he gets. When we were first married, I'd
watch, too, to keep him company, dut I was bored and com:
plained a lot. Finally, I realized how lucky [ was that my guy

' was home with me—not out drinking and running around

with the guys like a lot of other husbands. [ confess that
when my man isn't watching TV he tends to get underfoot,
so I welcome the weekends to sew, clean house, read or
write letters, If Amy keeps busy she won't mind it a bit,
DISAGREES WITH AMY'S POP

DEAR DISAGREES: My mail has been running about 90
percent with me and 10 percent with AMY'S POP, Here's
one for Pop's aide: _ .

DEAR ABBY: Any guy who lives for sports has gol to be
very selfish. I know what poor Amy is letting herself in for if
she marries a sports fanatic because I married one. Only
mine is worse. His love for sports takes him out of town. He
follows “his” teams, so whenever the Vikings, the Twins or
Minnesota U goes out of town to play, my guy goes, too.
When they lose, he sulks for a week. His whole life is wrap-
ped up in sports. And as if that isn’t enough, my man also
loves hunting and fishing! During the fishing season he
fishes with his father. During the hunting season he hunts
with his brother. During bowling tournaments he travels
with his team. Anything that takes him out of town (without
me} looks good to him. I can’t go because I'm stuck with nine
kids, which gives you an idea of what his favorite indoor

sport is,
- MINNEAPOLIS MAMMA

DEAR MAMMA: Read on for come advice from a sports
nut himeelf:

DEAR ABBY: I'm a sports aut, 80 I know how Jerry feels.
lhave.a few words of advice for other sports nuts.who are
still single: Either .marty.a girl who's into sports the way
you are, or stay single. ;

The gal I dated for four years (all through college) put ona
great act, She went to all the games with me and pretended
to love them.

As soon as we were married she let me know she thought
sports were for little boys and it was time [ “grew up.”

We never fought about anything else, but we fought about
sports enough to end our marriage. ,

T hear she's living with a guy, and what do you think he
does? He's an assistant basketball coach at a major universi-
ty. I hope she marries him, It will serve her right.

SFORTS NUT

DEAR ABBY: About Amy, whe is going to marry a sports
nut: I hope she reconsiders. I am married to such a man and
it is awfull He lives for sports. The minute he opens his eyes
in the morning he runs out to get the paper so he can look at
the sports pages.

At breakfast there's no conversation since he is carefully
reading the sports section. .

During our lovemaking he's listening to some game on
radio, I think men who are devoted to sports should take an
