Absolutely! The more the merrier! I'm actually a football nerd too so I can help with that one if you'd like! (Not so good at basketball though.)
I have a chick friend who is trying to get more into football to watch it with us on Sundays and I gave her this book as a bit of a gag gift last year for Christmas. Turns out it's super informative if you skip over the blatantly sexist parts! (Some of it's super cute though since it's written by a former football player's wife. She lists her favorite football butts and of course lists her husbands as her favorite.) Although it's a bit outdated.
