Aussie rules
If Aussie Rules footy was invented first, no-one would play any other code of football. Soccer? Up one end, get excited, no score. Down the other end, get excited, no score. back the other end, get excited, no score. Up, down, up, down, GOAL!!!! Stay excited all day, start a fight, maybe all survive. Game ends. Start another fight. Gird Iron? Run out start game stop. Restart after changing sides, stop. Start, stop, start, stop. All that padding? More than they wear riding motor cycles. Ice hockey (yes not football but what the heck), Skate out start game start fight. Rugby? Ice hockey without skates.
By the way I barrack for the Cats. Wondering where the hooopla was for 2009 Ryan? Bring on 2012. Could go again............ Oh, forgot with soccer. Slightest contact? Fall down like you have been shot!! Mike, maybe when they stopped people playing with guns on the weekend they took up soccer and pretended they were still playing with guns.

Good analysis, Jack: gave me quite a chuckle.
Grid Iron (sorry, just plain 'Football' here, like there are no others forms of it!) Yes, have to agree: for a three hour 'game' they really only 'play' for about 20 minutes. Yet it has millions of fanatical fans -alomost as fanatical as Aussie Rules fans. There are shops dedicated to just football 'stuff' for fans, sometimes only the local team and nothing else. Quite bizarre, really, but what the heck, they're havin' farn' (emphasis on the 'r'). And they haven't stopped people playing with guns here. Huntin' shootin' fishin' are national pastimes - there's even a TV channel dedicated to it. We have a good friend who is a contractor who weaves his jobs and locations around the various hunting and fishing seasons in each state. We, of course, share the benefit: he's also a great cook!
