I played touch football with an Australian guy here a few months ago and he apparently played in some semi-pro aussie rules league at home. He was the most unathletic idiot – seemed to think that if he just ran into people he’d win the game. Couldn’t throw a ball to save his life, couldn’t move laterally. I think we can all agree that Americans are more athletic, we’ve got that extra muscle in our leg. Australians do well at making fish and chips, constructing opera houses with excellent acoustics (trust me, I’ve heard, excellent!) and keeping New Zealand in check. Things they are not good at are as follows: being athletic, speaking english (they abbreviate or butcher everything), and apparently timely internet research.

It takes about nine months for American pop culture to become famous in Australia. Apparently that applies to blogs as well.

just for the beauty of it… we all know YANKS are soft it’s all a fantasy that there tuff.. give me padding and I’ll charge you no worry’s .. as my sports teacher once said when we had a exchange student from the USA..and he tried Aussie rules..bloody soft cocks these yanks can’t handle a bump with out having a winge.
and mark my words that yank went home a man after a year with us!!!
so on the gentle side you guys dont no what playing football is…
skills guts and physical courage is what you need to play aussie rules ..
not a giant wearing tights and a helmut ..just mentioning it sounds bloody silly..or gay!!
poor buggers there just giant babys.

mate, this is a pretty pathetic article.
first look at the two pictures. first, thats not australia’s best player (that is Paul Chapman that you have a pic of there) because that is not Jimmy Bartel. also, notice any difference in what they are wearing?? one is wearing an obvious unifrom and one is covered in padding. really. how is this tough? you know the hits are no harder in NFL than AFL but still the yank fags wear pads… makes them sound like teenage girls really. wow, you make it sound like there is so much skill in gridiron, you have to be able to run, tackle and throw. thats amazing. now ask yourself, “who is the bunch of retards and which sport sounds ‘silly’?” cmon. (also your facts are pretty good, just got one wrong, the players have to bounce it once every 15 METRES, not seconds.
and next time, have a pie, not nachos. if ya want nachos, mexico is right next door to u.
so please tell me when you find proof that wearing pads and under-eye makeup is gayer than what the aussies in AFL do.
please do.

Well that’s it. We found something less relevant than Winner’s soccer columns.
