f**k you apologists make me sick! Your the type of wankers who spend most of your energy bagging union (also a much better game, and also one with a massive international following) when you know nothing about that, but as soon as someone has a go at yanky ball you start getting all antsi and shitty because "you don't get it" etc... Well I've watched my fair share of NFL thanks to this yank who works with me who insisted that Rugby League was simply "too primitive" and that "if you understood the NFL you admit it was a better sport than league" etc etc... So I watched some of it with him on fox a couple times, and yeah they put on big hits, but with the pads it just looks like toy soldiers bumping into each other and either way after one hit the action is over untill the next play anyway and you spend most of your time watching the coaches or commercials... so at the end of it we basically had another argument because I still came out of the experience thinking league was simply a BETTER GAME.
As for league not being Australian though, did it ever occur to you that our presence in the international game and the fact that we have been responsible for the majority of the evolution the game has under gone makes it more an Australian sport than British? What makes League different from the evolution gaelic football underwent to become the Aussie Rules? Also explain to me how "people like", who have no interest or respect for NFL, are the reason people hate the roosters... I couldn't quite work that one out, because I know alot of people who think gridiron is about as interesting as watching grass grow and I'm the only rooster supporter among them...
How about you shut the f**k up untill YOU get a clue mate!
Oh and no, I haven't been to America lately mate, I went there once and would probably visit the gaza strip before going back I liked it that much ;-)
When it comes down to it boys, my opinion hasn't been helped by the fact I've listened to yanks talk about how crap they think league is, with most of them thinking union and league are the same sport... So to hear a bunch of aussies helping their cause sorta shits me.
At least I'm not like you, some sporting whore who supports any team because "you like their colours and logo"! You support Camberra, but live in brisbane and then go off supporting a pack on nancy boys in tights from a country where the battle to get creationism being taught in schools over evolution is actually being won!...
