The Las Vegas Thread

[Vee]

Any Australian sports fan knows that the NFL and CFL are similar but different sports.

I'm one. I didn't.

Never even heard of the CFL.

Well now you do all it took was to read about it once......

Still don't know what it is or how it differs from NFL.

Argue for arguments sake. What a shit read ruined by the same muppets thread after thread.

 

[Maximus]

I know it and you do.......all NFL fans do

So people who are already fans know the difference? That doesn't help the point you think you were making.

Seems I overestimated the intelligence of Australians

Far more important than any of the crap posted over the last few pages is the quality of the match on gameday.

We want fit teams playing attacking football. No racist comments on field. And a referee who doesn't try and make the game about them.

The reality is that 95% of the crowd and TV audience is existing NRL fans, BUT it did shit me how little attempt there was to appeal, and explain, to new viewers in the TV broadcast.

That is because the whole broadcast was flown over from here. They need to get a yank even a D grade celebrity in the box to ask the questions those at home would be thinking

Rugby League will never ever make a decent dent in the American sporting scene. Not in a country already saturated with NFL, NBA, Baseball and Hockey..

By all means keep coming to Vegas for Rd1 and bring in a couple English teams (or Catalan) etc. It’s a great concept. I hope to go one day (so I can infiltrate Area 51 lol) The Missus would love a few days in Vegas.

But don’t ever think rugby league (or the other code for that matter) will ever be even semi-big in the USofA!!
