If AFL was that good it would have moved to other countries, there's a reason it's only played in Australia
If that's true, then cricket wouldn't be popular. You have to bat, bowl and field which requires alot of concentration, hand-eye co-ordination and skill. Having to use your hands and feet isn't a reason for a sport to not be popular around the world. As I said in my last post, if it really was a brilliant sport, it'd be popular around the world, yet it's only played in Australia, it can't be that great.
Complicated game, there's no more complicated game than Cricket, and that's played at a very high standard throughout the world. Australian's aren't far more intelligent than the rest of the world, and I'm sure if the sport was that brilliant it would have been brought over by many of the Aussies living across here.
AFL is an Australian sport in a low population society. Its a complex game therefore not easy to understand, hence why its not a global sport.
Oh, c'mon. It's really not that difficult to understand.
I like AFL for the way it combines the best disciplines of several sports but until the players stop wearing those sleeveless guernseys it's going to look more like a gaypride event than a global sport
I'm not a fan of either (in fact I hate both) but I think American Football is a tougher sport then AFL.
