I personally can not BUT i can give you good advice. Explain to him just like you have here. "hunny can you help and teach me to understand this game we are watching, i never did watch it as a child." Ask questions if you don't understand something he says or uses a term that only applies to the game your watching
It's to late to start now to watch a new sport you will never liked,even me 15 old and i try watching American Football but it's not interesting to me i don't know why ????? Sorry for my bad English
