In almost every major sports telecast, there is a moment where the camera pans to some hot chick in the crowd, before the commentators reveal that that hottie was a player’s significant other. Next thing you know, you’re Googling the girl’s name and learning more about her…personality.
If this has happened to you, then you’ve just been WAG’d by the best of them. Thanks to the internet, wives and girlfriends — WAGs, in short — of famous athletes have been drawing just as much (and in some cases, even more) attention as the athletes that they’re linked to. But what is it exactly that compels us to these delicious pieces of eye-candy? Here are three good reasons why WAGs are all the craze with fans.
Get Up Close and Personal
Just like any celebrity, we are interested in what it is that makes the babe in question tick. In some cases, we’re talking about relationships that have lasted lifetimes, in others there has obviously been an element of celebrities meeting celebrities. Whatever the circumstance, as fans of the athletes we are naturally drawn to know more about them, and the people they keep close. It’s a natural extension of the time we spend learning and reading about the teams and players.

Dreams of Grandeur
Face it: we’re not professional athletes. And yes, these big-time players (or playaz, if you will) almost always get an ace of a vixen for a partner given their talent and fame for the sport. But sometimes, you have to wonder why a certain girl fell for such a player. Maybe it’s because they love hiking. And you love hiking! This kind of breakthrough can be encouraging for the average man.
Finding a common ground between you and a pro’s special gal goes to show that you too can get someone like her. Which is a fun thought. But even if you’re not worried about your chances of actual dating one of these hotties, there still lies the most universal reason we remain interested…
They’re Easy On the Eyes
Let’s not shit each other. Pretty girls are pretty girls. At the end of the day, we men are still carnal creatures drawn to nice faces and stunning bodies.
We are living in the Age of the Internet after all, and the sources for your daily fix of sex and sensuality are almost limitless. What separates the WAGs from the bevy of other women around the web is our attachment to the athletes they’re with and the sports they play. Just as we cheer for our favorite teams and players, we adore their wives and players like celebrities in their own rights.
But in the end, the cold, hard truth simply holds up; men just love gawking at the three B’s: beauty, butts, and breasts.
