Talking Footy

Lol just lol

I am seeing what he clearly posted .
You are trying to make out its something it's not .

RL gets NO benefit...never has from RU .
It's not hard to understand

Well okay. That is how you see it and that is fine. I think it has been benifical for rl where ru is already established. It is okay to disagree.
But i am unsure how you prove that ru 'paves' the way by being similar to rl. But to me it seems obvious as by being similar people can relate.

Is Canada not a different nation to the United States that plays Grid Iron professionally?

You claimed only Americans play it. Your the halfwit that got it completely wrong lol..

So in other words you can't use the argument that Grid Iron is a one nation code like AFL or Aussie Rules.

Gridion being played professionally in the country immediatly nex to the USA, where they play a number of other professional sports in US competitions, is hardly a sign of succesful expansion internationally.

So no, you fail

Excuses excuses, so why does'nt Mexico play Grid Iron? They border the U.S too.

Union, League, Netball, Basketball and Soccer all have professional competions that include New Zealand and Australia. What is AFLs excuse?

Aussie Rules has had a presence in NZ since 1871. Before rugby league even existed.

You just can't hack the fact no other nation took up your silly Victorian game lol..

And that I clearly proved Grid Iron is played in another country. Canada.

they are vertically similar games but one is a dumbed down version that being league

the playing fields are identical & both games are classed as rugby, union is well established in several countries all over the world & league is the amateur riding that popularity.

with out union, league wouldn't probably exist!

Grid iron in Canada is not the same as nrl

Oops nfl

I hear so many times AFL people say the sport of Grid Iron is a one nation code like AFL which is total bullshit.

There have been numerous players and coaches that have switched between the two competions because they are both Grid Iron football.

Good question, why hasnt NFL expanded beyond US and Canada? Must be an insignificant sport

Where do you think RL, RU, Cricket, Soccer, and Netball originated? You've stumbled onto the answer to your questions without even knowing it. Britain, which had enormous influence on the developed world.

I can handle that Aussie rules hasnt spread overseas to professional comps. I have no issue with it whatsoever. How influential are Australia internationally?

That is a poor excuse, a good product sells no matter where it is from.
Wifi. Developed in Australia and used globally. Do you think Australia is not influential now??
Tv shows like Neighbours and Home & Away as much as I hate them are huge in the UK.

Now that simply puts a massive hole in your theory does'nt it. Because for some reason AFL never took off despite being older than these Australian products.

USA and Canada two countries bigger than Australia that play the same sport. Now why has'nt NZ got into AFL again?

You think advances in technology show that sports should also spread internationally? Are you for real? :_<> Technologies serve a purpose, often a new purpose that hasnt been seen before.

If expansion is simply about the quality of the sport itself why hasnt RL expanded across Australia? Isnt it any good? Youve had over 100 years FFS! Why hasnt a very popular world sport like cricket spread to the USA? China? Most of Europe?

You've got no idea.

If it was'nt for superleague Rugby League would have been Australia wide. Millions were lost in the game. But that is another topic.

You claimed Australia was not influential and I showed you Australian things that have done well overseas. If AFL is so good you guys would be global by now. How long you've been around lol

Even an Australian soap like Neigbours has had more sucess than AFL lol . Must make you feel pretty embarassed hey xfool.

But instead AFL has just failed failed failed lol.. =D> =D> =D>

AFL should be called the Australian Failure League. Because after all this time your sport has failed to gain any recognition.
Too bad hey =D> =D>

AFL just sux balls and can't get anyone else interested.

Superleague....LOL. but but but. The pirates were a complete failure

Australian culture is not influential internationally, thats a fact. NZ's isnt either. We are too small and too isolated to influence a cultural change, which is what a sporting shift actually requires. That has absolutely nothing to do with whether an invention or movie, or brand can be invented or created in a small country and sold over seas. Comparing these to sport is idiotic beyond comprehension

Name me one sport that has originated in a young small country like Australia that is now played professionally world-wide.

There have been numerous players and coaches that have switched between the two competions because they are both Grid Iron football.

By that reckoning Union and league are the same. Baseball and softball are the same. ???? Two different games.

Does Union and League have identical scoring systems like the cfl and nfl Fred?
Does baseball and softball go under a single sport name like Grid Iron?
Pretty dumb logic...

There are differences in the rules but it is still called Grid Iron. Going by your logic Rugby 7s should be classified as totally different sport to rugby because of differences. I guess indoor soccer should not be called soccer either because of rule differences.

At the end of the day the sport is still Grid Iron whichever way you look at it. Try convincing me that the cfl is not Grid Iron.

Does basesball and softball have the same name?
Does Union and League have the same name apart from the name rugby infront of them.
