As soon as I saw Aussie Rules and Rugby League separated by .2 of a percent I was immediately dubious.

that is the most false thing i have ever seen lol

I expected soccer would have a high participation rate.
Parents like to think their children are playing a safe sport, but...
Junior players can be susceptible to broken legs and heading a water logged soccer ball can go very wrong.

I don't think a survey with data 3 years out of date and going back to 2015 has any relevance today. Surveys are always problematic but one with historical data only is a pointless talking point.

you'd put most participates of soccer like that of people that play netball, participates couldn't tell who won last week of the state or national sides but use for a fitness and social reasons mostly played mid-week with some weekend competition

Strange how soccer participation is so much higher in NSW than the other states

Thanks for that gem of foresight makingwackowacked. There is a chance that the years after covid that weren't in this survey would be very different. Let alone from 2015. Just a thought. Then again I'm sure a bloke who calls himself makingwackowacked would be right lolololol!!!! Seems sensible.
