It's a book about how gender was an important aspect of the US's decision to get involved in Cuba and the Philippines. Everyone wanted to be manly and promote the virility and fraternity that war supposedly fosters. It had fun cartoons of Uncle Sam as an old woman.
In my mind football has always been equated with guys. I don't think there were any gender politics at work at this game though, just lots of friends having fun.
