These are the no-hold back rules and bylaws that every football fan should know. Tunison's Manifesto takes you through the essential principles of fandom' such as picking a favorite team and how this is' in fact' the most important decision of your life (just remember' don't pick the Lions. Or the Cardinals. And God help you if you take the Browns).
Of particular concern are the simple and yet often misunderstood guidelines to the purest expression of sports fan exultation' the "high-five." The Manifesto lists acceptable high-fiveable scenarios' such as when your favorite team scores a touchdown' or when someone on your fantasy team makes a big play (bonus five if that fantasy player is also a member of your favorite real-life team).
And of course' Tunison provides advice for how to deal with "non-sports fans'" providing real solutions for those terrible situations you will inevitably face when encountering people who have managed to reach adulthood without developing a love for football.
