Nothing can send an otherwise well-adjusted man into a sudden tailspin of depression quite like his favorite sports team losing. Ladies, here are nine ways you can comfort your man when such a tragedy unfolds:
Remind him that it's just a game: This will help put things back in perspective.
Ask him again which team lost and by how much: He needs to process this.
Stand in front of the screen for the last 5 minutes of the game and ask if he wants to talk about his feelings: Obviously, he has some things he needs to express.
Be super, extra cheerful to help offset his sadness: This will right the ship in no time.
Ask why his team keeps losing: Let him really dig in to the root causes.
Tell him the third basemen with the WAR of 4.2 who's been on the IL since April did great in his AAA rehab start and is close to activation: You won't believe how his eyes will light up.
Ask if now is a good time to talk about getting off birth control: This will be a welcome distraction.
Tell him it's too bad about the large men in another city not hitting the ball with the stick better: Let him know you really care.
Ask him why he doesn't just root for a better team: Help him see the error of his foolish, foolish ways.
Follow these nine easy steps, and your man will beat the post-loss doldrums in no time!
