After seeing this terrible broadcast from some Americans on some channel I have no clue about, and hearing their unrelenting, racially stereotypical comments (which made no sense) about a game I love to play and watch, I've felt that I want to ask the rest of the world a question. Do you know what Aussie-Rules Football is and/or your reaction to it is (from the video)?

 

Here's the video:

I'm not going to be judging anyone, but it was just a question that popped into my head and I thought that posting a section on a forum I feel a part of would be a good way to find the answer. :)

Ouch. XD I will try and not take offence to that.

 

I can assure you that it's more than what that video shows, but I can understand your reasoning when that video was shown. For some reason, the two American commentators in the video wanted to make a mockery of the game and so they chose some bad parts of the game.

 

But spekky's are not retarded, :P That is when a person leaps onto a person's back mid-contest and catches the ball.

They're better than that, they can pop their shoulders back in when they get dislocated and get back into the game

Scary part is that this is true.

 

It's kinda scary at times...

Many Aussie's would agree with you, but not me. :P I've played both games and I think that "footy" is still better. Cricket is boring to watch with the exception of 20/20 cricket. Yes, I know my cricket. :P

When a sport match goes on for days on end...well, yes, I think I would find that boring. I've got better things to do with my time than to see the same thing happen over and over again for hours on end, then to see the same thing happen over and over again the next day. Test matches are far too defensive and is far too time consuming in the world of me - a final year school student who desperately tries to study every day so he could get an hour or two of free time so he could play some video games.

 

So yes, I am a casual, but I doubt you should even call me an anything because I gave up on sports altogether after I began getting massive workloads from school. But I know my sports. I can play my sports. I just don't watch them.

 

Seriously, I had vigorous training in cricket just so my brother could practice against me. -__- ; He completely nerded out on me and taught me all the shots and a few spinners bowls. Although I learnt the wrongen by myself. 

 

I'm alright being a casual though. :P

Having grown up in Australia I learned and play a lot of Aussie-Rules football (I always called it just Australian Football) as well as rugby and cricket and soccer.

 

Was quite a culture shock when I moved to the States and started playing "football" as I had no bloody idea what was going on!

 

I love playing all of them but I do prefer soccer over Australian Football simply because most Americans taker forever to understand it. ^^ American football is boring as hell though!
