You are the BS artist. The answer is YES, Katoomba and Colyton/Mount Druitt colts are bigger than Collingwood. You only have to look at the number of players to know that it's true! How many do Collingwood have? 44 (I think that's the AFL roster limit). How many do those two colts teams have? More than 44 I'll bet!

And I will call you a dunce, because you are an epic failure!

You have the simplest terms for a sport being bigger than another that I've ever seen.

Folks soccer is a much bigger sport than aussie rules in australia. nsw said it first, right here. in his book aussie rules is no longer the biggest sport in australia, soccer is. And there may be more in front of aussie rules too :lol:

Your theory fails too! How can you quantify the AFLs size compared to soccer in Australia? The crowds and tv rights shows its bigger but by how much?

And this was the problem with paras claim! How can you make a statement like that when it's impossible to prove. Participation numbers do not tell the entire story. Other factors like media rights other Subjective factors are impossible to compare.

Therefore his claim should be called bs because it can't be proven

According to the rules of the BS files this claim shouldn't been entered into the BS files.

2. Only challenged claims that are deemed appropriate by the TFC moderator will be entered into the BS file. Examples of inappropriate claims are: i. Predictions, ii. Clear personal opinions, iii. Issues that are impossible to prove, iv. Issues that are too big (eg: which is the bigger code)

This applies to me, not Parra, Cooee, and I have proven that RL in the UK is NOT 50 times bigger that AFL outside of Australia. This isn't about what is bigger without limits. This HAS a limit, and it's a BS one.

For the record, as we are including juniors, yes soccer is the biggest sport in Australia. And I wish the suits in Melbourne would start taking that more seriously than they are.
