Rugby league on the other hand is culturally diverse. Whilst AFL is dominated by those of Anglo Celtic background and culture.
Perhaps to dumb it down for you folks a little. Language is often argued to be the most fundamental aspect of any culture. Aside from the 10 odd percent mod Aboriginal players the AFL lads almost entirely have come from ur typical white English speaking family background/culture. Because the AFL has some as Freddo says "Irish" and "American"

players is pointing out cultural uniformity rather than diversity

the arl/NRL has been massively embraced by Italian, Greek, Lebanese, Aboriginal, Fijian, Tongan, Maori, Papua New Guinean and of course your Anglo Celtic Aussie communities and this is not the only communities who've taken up the code.
Note the language backgrounds Freddo

and then thAnk me and the NRL you ignorant clown, you now understand what actual cultural diversity entails, rather than the narrow shallow line the AFL declares
As you know ke..(good to see you back by the way ) but if you are using language as the cultural benchmark where English is the base I think you will find much of Europe has different language. But anyway , the language arguement is a poor one but I’ll let you off as I like you.

.
Both codes are
ethically diverse (there you go ... that’s the word your looking for). I mentioned African/Sudanese yet you ignore that. I mentioned Asian yet again you ignore that?
Anyway I’ll play a little longer as, I am sure you are aware, the France v Aus game is ordinary and this is slightly more fun. So go ahead... let’s play...... fill my time as Bangkok is pretty lame lol. As an aside ... walked down some street today ... red light
Ethically diverse!

no I'll give the AFL the points on that one, they're ethically diverse as all fukk!!

how is it you manage to fukk up your points so well Freddo?
I think the Sudanese population is beginning to embrace the AFL which is a very good thing. But it's only the beginning and the AFL would do well to put more work into that population ahead of dumb ventures to China. I mean seriously! As for the Chinese you mention Freddo, you cannot for one minute tell me there's a Chinese embrace of AFL. One or two players? Whoopdidoo! I'm talking embrace.
And lastly, if you don't think language is the most fundamental aspect of every human culture would you like me to point you to some of the readings of the worlds most renowned thinkers on culture which explain how language and culture are innately intertwined?
Happy to do so me bro, just for your enlightenment. As long as you thank me for teaching you something. And thank the NRL too you silly ignorant turd you
