What Parents Need to Know
About The Game
Parents need to know that this sitcom is about women who have chosen to make personal sacrifices in order to support loved ones who are seeking a career in professional football. Dialogue and storylines include strong references to infidelity and promiscuity, there's some stereotyping of both Caucasian and African-American characters, and inappropriate comments are made about women.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the sacrifices associated with professional sports. Who supports an athlete "behind the scenes"? How and why? Are professional sports more about making money or about the love of the sport? Families can also discuss the importance of preserving your own sense of identity while trying to support a loved one's efforts to achieve their goals.
