"San Pedro Sula was the "murder capital of the world"until early 2016 whenCaracas, Venezuelasurpassed its homicide rate.Since the2009 Honduran military coup"unemployment and underemployment rates have doubled while the number of people living in extreme poverty has skyrocketed." In 2013, the city had 187 homicides per 100,000 residents. In 2013, the city had 187 homicides per 100,000 residents.[12] This surpassed Ciudad Juarez, Mexico's rate of 148 killings per 100,000, or an average of about three homicides per day;[9] Ciudad Juarez had previously topped the list for three consecutive years.[13][14] Both cities are major operational and strategic distribution points in the illegal drug trade, particularly to the United States, and have significant gang activity.[7][13][15][16] In response, authorities launched Operation Lightning, saturating violence hotspots with police and soldiers.[9] Meanwhile, arms trafficking has flooded the country, with just under 70% of all firearms being illegal. 83% of homicides in the city involve firearms.[8]"

I laugh at the AFL thinking their one game in China this was ground breaking stuff. When is their next World Cup international qualifier? They must have one coming up because every year they name an Australian team. f**king lol.
THIS Honduras qualifier is an away trip!!

I don't think one game is enough of a sample to be putting shit on the Jets this year. Especially when they scored five goals.

AFL is definitely more a part of their culture. League is seen the same way in Queensland but it's only one state. NSW is a different beast. Parochialism is cringed at, in Sydney anyway. It's a true international city.
