Less because we don't like it and more to do with Union for hundred years belittling, trying to kill off and refusing to except it is inferior to RL. But you're right most RL fans don't like it because it is an inferior sport. Just a damn shame it is run better than RL generally.
This is true for Union and VFL...
RL, as a game, shits all over these 2, but everything outside of the 34 players on the field is pathetic.
We could talk for hours about how shitty all of the governing bodies are and about how the game is run at the whim of the Old Boyz Club. But the thing that REALLY gets me is how little clubs care about their own brands (i genuinely believe they would make the players run out covered in shitstains if they thought it would make them a quick $)
We have new jerseys ever 2 weeks, new colours every few months, new logos every few years and the jumpers are so covered in sponsorships the players are starting to look like rally cars.
There are only so many times a clubs brand can get pulled apart and ripped up for a buck before fan loyalties start to fray. If clubs cant even respect their own brand, how can they expect fans to love it...
