The plural for Saprono is not Sopranos but in fact, Soprani.

I've never heard anyone say "The Storms".

Victorians do

I’m going to the rugby to watch the storms

But is that for a group of singers rather than a family called Soprano?

Soprano is an Italian word and also a TV series about mafia in America. You're just a try hard for bringing that up.

It’s still an Italian word/name and in this case it has been anglicised. Italians would put an ‘I‘ to a group of family members called Soprano. As @Colk mentioned, we (or David Chase) subconsciously think in our own language when speaking another.

So of there's two people called Tony, they are Toni?

It’s difficult because you’re trying to anglicise another language. There is no Y in the Italian alphabet therefore Tony is Toni in Italian. An Italian would probably say “the two Toni” in this case. Come to think of it, what’s plural of Tony in English? Tonies?

I don't know, I lost interest in the whole language thing about 80 posts back tbh.

Have heard it plenty in western Sydney too

I call bullshit on this.

Would the average Aussie who calls themselves a gridiron fan give a f**k about the sport if it was only played in Albania?

Do they even watch the games?

Why don't the so called gridiron fans follow the CFL?

It's a very similar sport.

Why do the Aussie EPL fans support winning teams like Chelsea, Arsenal, Man U or Man City?

Why do the so called baseball and basketball fans walk around with apparel from the Yankees and Lakers but never the Mets or Clippers?

It's because they see these sports and brands as status symbols. These are the same wankers who buy a Mercedes or BMW for its image, and not because of what's underneath the bonnet. The same f**kheads will buy an electric car that is more harmful to the planet than a normal combustion engine car, then walk around acting as if their shit doesn't stink while they go on 10 plane trips each year.

Most people are full of shit.

I think that gridiron, baseball, basketball and soccer apparel look like bland nerdy shit. In the case of gridiron and basketball it's just a players number on a shirt/singlet with a name written in a boring bold font.

Anyone from Australia that watches boring American games like baseball and gridiron is just a tryhard wannabe Yankee Doodle sidekick who has an inferiority complex.

Most Americans wouldn't know that Canberra is the capital of Australia, FWIW.

BTW, my comment about "beating a drum" was a piss take on your idiotic claim that America stadia are better than Lang Park because they have more room for "tailgating". Tailgating is the name for fans assembling before a game to play music and do other moronic shit outside of the stadium. If you ever bothered to attend an NRL or AwFuL game then you would know it's not something the average Australian gives a f**k about doing. You'll find the average Australian sports fan getting stuck into the piss before and after the game. Most NFL stadia don't have a f**ken roof.

Yep we need to be more Australian and you can only be a true Australian if you don’t follow baseball and gridiron according to a specific poster’s definition about what it is to be Australian. We need to get rid of all this overseas stuff.

Honestly this is the kind of stuff best written in faeces on a wall in a psych ward.

Negative about the game perhaps not as negative about society in general.

England lent the nswrl a handbook and did one tour which they thought would lose money but made millions in todays money around 1910

since that time they done basically nothing for rugby league. For all intents and purpose it’s an Australian controlled game now

if not for Aussie tours over the past 30 years the rfl would’ve gone broke

India controls World Cricket.

Doesn't change the facts of where Cricket originated.
