So what is your point? It is proven fact that more people play rugby league world wide than they do AFL. It also is able to atract corwds, sponsers and tv deals something AFL can't do

It is NOT a proven fact that more people play thugby!! That's the whole point! I gave you the US example - along with the fact that footy is played in more countries! You keep making these grandious claims, and yet you won't prove it when challenged.
Thugby can only attract crowds in countries where it is well known, and that number is limited. Total crowds - even with NRL included - can't match that of the AFL and all the other bodies combined.

Bit late to ask a serious question now isn't it?
Regardless of the constant pissing competition Australian Football has made some huge gains in a very short period of time.
It is well structured to target some particular countries and further increase participation.
rl would do better to focus on it's attributes than constantly trying to belittle AFL's advances.
