Dear Wayne Jackson
Hello. My name is Mark Peterson. You dont know me and I dont know you, but lets get one thing straight before we start. I am a sports fan, and as such, enjoy all SPORTS including League, Union and your organization, AFL. But you see Wayne, if I may be so forward in calling you that, I have a problem, and its this.
You and your organization suffocated the sport out of Melbourne. You with your blanket media coverage of AFL in Victoria killed off all sporting teams that were essentially non related to AFL, and as such ensured your sports success by killing off all the other ones. But Wayne mate, I dont have a problem with that, its your business. Good luck to you I say, for you have conned an entire state into believing that the only code that exists in this country is AFL. But now I draw the line.
Wayne, you have crossed the border. We here in New South Wales, are friendly, loving caring sports people. We like many sports such as Tennis, Rugby League, Rugby Union, and even your now dreaded AFL. But we will not be conned. I went to Victoria and saw the madness that ensued in that foul state, and am determined not to let it happen here. Wayne, this state will not be corrupted by your evil sport, and we will not abandon the games ( see plural, meaning more than one) in favour of yours. We league lovers in this town are horrified in the fact that now, because the Swans have played a few games at telstra stadium, they own the place.
Never mind the Bulldogs have earned the right to play there with it being their HOME GROUND and all. You want us league fans to bow to your wishes and move next door, at a sub standard venue when the bulldogs have earned the right to play at telstra stadium. What is suddenly wrong with the Sydney Cricket Ground? Oh thats right it holds only 40,000. Ten thousand more than what the dogs would get at the telstra stadium in their home ground. But you would rather them move next door and play in front of ten, making us the laughing stock of the country. Well we know who the true loser is in this situation.
You want to become in a dogfight with all the other codes in this state, be my guest. But we have one thing in common. Our footballs may be different, our rules my be structured differently, but here in this state we compromise, for the good of all sports. Take the Canberra Raiders. Last year the Crusaders used Bruce Stadium for a final, and it happened to clash with a Raiders home game. The raiders could have arked up about it, but for the good of Rugby Union, they moved it to the next day. No conflict. No arguments. Just sensible compromise. Somehow I dont see you and your organization as being so fair to the bulldogs, who have earned the right to be able to play in front of as many people as they can, however many that may be. But thats just you. Your Victorian. I have grown to hate Victorians such as yourself due to your appalling lack of tolerance.
You call yourself the sporting capital of the world, yet the only sports outside AFL are run during the AFL off season. When the cricket was played at telstra dome last july, you arked up. God forbid any Victorian be able to choose between a game of AFL and a game of cricket .heaven forbid! Are you really that scared that the Australian Cricket team is single handedly going to bring down the tyrannical dictatorship that is AFL, by playing TWO, (yes count them), games in Melbourne during Winter? Oh no! If your organization is that weak then it needs serious help. But then again so do most Victorians.
For the record, I used to like AFL. I played it for three years in a local comp, and loved every second. But now I dont. I hate it more than anything in this world, and its because of what you are trying to do to this country. You did it to the state of Victoria. Your not doing it to us. Back off. Or else
Other than that have a nice day
Your friend
