Pigs arse.
There are only FOUR countries in a world of 200+ which have had the CULTURAL INDEPENDENCE and the STRENGTH OF CHARACTER to develop their own culturally unique code of football, where that code is the dominant code in the home country.
Those countries are England, Ireland, USA, and AUSTRALIA !!!!
Every other country has wilted under the onslaught of football imperialism of another country, and imported a foreign code.
• I am deeply proud that Australia didn't succumb to English soccer imperialism.
• I am deeply proud that Australia's Game of Aussie Rules sells 7,000,000 tickets to AFL a year. More than the all the other 3 codes combined.
• I am deeply proud that it was a New South Welshman, Tom Wills, who first wrote the rules.
• I am deeply proud that Tom Wills wrote those rules in May 1859, which was 4 years and 7 months BEFORE the rules of soccer were written in England in December 1863.
• I am deeply proud that Australia's northernmost people, the Yolgnu of Kakadu and Elcho Island, love and play Aussie Rules and, unlike you, ignorant Crapper, know that Kakadu is not in Victoria.
Ignorant, naysayers like you, Crapper, will never destroy the most powerful statement of Australia's cultural uniqueness: Australian Football.
Interlopers, like AFLsforPussies who confessed she comes from the UK, may try to promote English codes, like RL and soccer, here, but our own uniquely Australian culture is too strong: Australian culture and Australia's Game will prevail.
