My name is Kevin Paul, often referred to as KP, and I created The Wife Hates Sports in Summer 2009 – with a more extended launch in January 2010. For my entire life, I have been passionate about sports – just ask anyone I know. It wasn’t just playing a wide range of sports that fueled my passion. For years, I wanted to find a way to work in the sports world, but the opportunity never presented itself. Finally, in late 2005, I entered a contest on the Fox Sports website, known as “The Next Great Sportswriter”. From then on, I began to realize that my passion for sports, coupled with my ability to write and express my thoughts, was actually a combo that really drove me to put more and more out there for the world to find. In the summer of 2008, Fox Sports rewarded my efforts with a freelance contract to be a contributing writer. I’ll never forget the day that I received the news, and hope that particular moment is only the beginning of a series of successful steps in sportswriting for years to come. Every day is met with a challenge, juggling a full-time job in a completely different industry, while putting as much time as I can into my writing. In order to get this far, I have a long list of people to thank – you know who you are, listing from family, friends, fellow bloggers (that became good friends) and so on. Please know that all of you are in my thoughts and I can’t thank you enough for all of your support. And now I want to again welcome you to The Wife Hates Sports – a sports site with a unique flavor, not just tying in sports of allkp twhs creator About the Creator kinds, but also the relationship side of things that many of us can relate to, involving women that love sports, women who ride the fine line, and most importantly, the women in our lives that hate sports. Forever, we will think that we can push them to our side of the spectrum. Comments or suggestions? Feel free to contact me.

We are looking for people who are obsessed with sports and who’s spouses can’t stand it. I read about how your wife hates sports and I thought it was really funny.

The show was created by Jerry Seinfeld and is going to be a comedic look at various issues that married couples have. We are looking for passionate couples who aren’t afraid to get a little heated in their discussions.
