Study Confirms Women Suffer Debilitating Migraines During Football Season

In a groundbreaking study, researchers have confirmed that women are prone to developing debilitating migraines precisely at kickoff on Sundays during football season.

"The data doesn't lie," stated Dr. Ronald McCarthy of Temple University. "We've identified a strong correlation between the hours of 4 PM and 8 PM on Sundays and the onset of intense headaches among wives living in homes where NFL games are broadcast."

While the exact causes behind these headaches remain a mystery, experts speculate that they may be triggered by seemingly minor irritations—like husbands ignoring requests to mow the lawn because the game is about to start or witnessing the family patriarch fixate on the television while their wives frantically search upstairs for their misplaced reading glasses.

These migraines often leave women unable to focus on anything but a pillow throughout the game. Notably, researchers have observed a significant increase in the frequency of these headaches since the advent of the Red Zone channel.

Wives are voicing their frustration, emphasizing it's a blatant injustice that men continue to discuss patriarchy when they face the choice of either enduring three hours of staring at a screen or succumbing to excruciating head pain.

At publishing time, the study revealed that most men experience a marked decrease in their desire to engage in conversation with their wives once they hear the word "touchdown" muffled beneath a pillow positioned over their head.
