Why is Aussie Rules such a pathetic cowardly game ?

Question

Whats the purpose of an inferrior game which has no international competition ! Who can you play against other than yourselves (or with yourselves) ! Rugby League & Union are both International codes where we have dominated the World at different stages in the history of both codes ! (we dont just play against ourselves !). Its a huge embaresment when you travel to certain ignorant countries like the USA and they think Australian Footballers are girls in singlets and tights ! See what sort of an image you idiots have created and its always up to the real men of League & Union to prove the World wrong again and again and again, in most New South Wales Schools to play "Aussie Rules" is a self declaration of cowardice as your admitting your not strong or tough enough to play eith League or Rugby, such cowards were always delt with and made a mockery of as with most things Victorian, the only good thing to come out of Melbourne is the Hume Highway !

Answer 1

I love and appreciate all our codes. Aussie Rules is definitely not a cowards game, they play hard ongoing football and are extremely fit athletes. I've worked in NSW schools and have never found that playing one or the other is an admittance of cowardess or inferiority. In schools in NSW kids normally play all codes because they love to compete . A good game is not only judged by International liking or acknowledgment.

Answer 2

You are so wrong, it is the best game.  Get your facts straight before you go making comment.  There is an international competition, at the end of every season Australian competes against Ireland in the International Rules series.  Also at my old school (IN QUEENSLAND) the Aussie Rules boys were always more popular than the League & Union boys and were never considered cowards.  And since when does anyone care about what Americans think, they are the biggest bunch of idiots in the world!!!!

Answer 3

jeez everyone likes thier own sport.

personaly i dont like watching AFL, im a leauge and union girl but still, i dont go around attacking other sports and say thier players and sport is cowardly. thats just not right mate.

Answer 4

To the Americans that answered this irrelevant question glad to have you on board the AFL bandwagon.                      GO PIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 5

I think you've had your head in too many scrums Wayne. What's the average crowd at a Rugby match? 4000?League match? 10,000? At an AFL match? 30,000.

There are more Americans playing AFL then league because they appreciate the skill and speed of the game. As for Rugby, outside the internationals and some super 14s, it would have to be the slowest, most boring game around. Even soccer is more exciting.

I enjoy and was brought up on all three codes but would take AFL over the others any day.

Answer 6

anybody can play catch me kiss me do what you like with me,sounds very homosexual is every rugby player and fan poofters and wayne a your the biggest of them all

Answer 7

hahahhahaha, dont agree with wat your saying coming from a league player who also likes afl but your hue highway comment got me laughing

Answer 8

You're kidding right? AFL is one of the most amazing ball games I have ever seen!  It's face paced and exciting!  I can't imagine how you could consider some of the speckys I have seen to be part of a game that lacks courage!  How about Tom Lonergan losing a kidney and almost his life during a game last year?  How much courage would it take to line yourself up to take a knock that hard?  Or James Hird having his face smashed to bits?  Those men do have courage.and heaps of it!!!  GO PIES!!!!!

PS:  Regarding the crack about yanks.....I am an American living in Australia!  Trust me!  We aren't all bad!

Answer 9

Yeah mate its really manly to apply spear tackles , low blows in scrums, and mauls ( its an aptly named term ) Rugby has never dominated the world stage , Association football does. You my friend need to get a life and get help for your delusional grandeur

Answer 10

the reason why it is one of the best games on the planet is because wankas like you dont follow it.

Answer 11

curious to where your allegiance lie code wise... Is it league that is played in only a handful of countries, union which certainly has a huger international claim to fame or soccer which is the worlds dominant game?

AFL is entertainment- why knock something that is entertaining???

move on wayno-

oh and right on richo

nothing worse than someone having a crack and not having the foresight to utilise spell check....

cheers

Answer 12

i cant believe you just wrote so much, giving ur opinion like that. like anyone cares, anyone who appriciates sport in general are fans of all types of the game. obvisoulsy u are bitter about something. don worry about afl embarrasing australians if i was you i would be worried about enbarrasing myself

Answer 13

You idiot.

And the Hume Highway gag is about 50 years old. Obviously you are too stupid to come up with anything original.

Answer 14

I'm with you on a lot of this stuff but I think you go to far with your "dirty mexicans" comment. That is so unfair to Mexicans.

Answer 15

Just because there isnt ant competition doesnt mean its cowardly. Look at the NFL in America!!! Anyway Aussie Rules takes just as much strength and a lot more skill than union or league.

Answer 16

At least it IS an AUSTRALIAN game not some second rate game ripped off the yanks.

Answer 17

HEY CHAMP!,after reading your pathetic question (if you can call it one) i have come to the conclusion that you must be a skinny little nerd who has never played a mans sport,because people who play rugby,footy etc generally have some respect for other codes and can appreciate the skills involved in other sports. the only thing you have proved with your statement is that you are an idiot. GO STORM!

Answer 18

Whats the purpose of an inferrior game which has no international competition !

--------------------------------------...

Response: We just had a Canada Vs States match, and the States won yet again.  so there is international competition.

Aussie rules: 1   Wayne: 0

Who can you play against other than yourselves (or with yourselves) !

--------------------------------------...

Well the AFL has a series of teams and leagues,  there's international teams in Canada, Ireland, Africa, USA, and multiple other countries. Not to mention the USAFL here in the states has 60 teams of players  and hundreds of matches every year.

Aussie rules: 2   Wayne: 0

Rugby League & Union are both International codes where we have dominated the World at different stages in the history of both codes !

--------------------------------------...

Well Soccer has dominated the world game, basketball is quite huge, some may even call cricket a bigger draw then rugby, however this is all opinion.

NO Points Awarded

Its a huge embarrassment when you travel to certain ignorant countries like the USA and they think Australian Footballers are girls in singlets and tights !

--------------------------------------...

LOL, first we're not all ignorant, and nor do we consider them to be girls in tights. The most respect ever is given here considering that the NFL rules. The footy field is roughly 2-3 times larger then an NFL field and to Americans it has appeal because everyone is a QB, WR, Lineman, and kicker. Not to forget that there are Footy players playing in the NFL which is bringing credibility and recognition to the sport. The perception of rugby in the US is its a bunch of brain dead Neanderthals fighting and getting smashed afterwards ( Warranted or not)

Aussie rules: 3   Wayne: 0

See what sort of an image you idiots have created and its always up to the real men of League & Union to prove the World wrong again and again and again, in most New South Wales Schools to play "Aussie Rules" is a self declaration of cowardice as your admitting your not strong or tough enough to play eith League or Rugby, such cowards were always delt with and made a mockery of as with most things Victorian, the only good thing to come out of Melbourne is the Hume Highway !

--------------------------------------...

Well aside the horrid grammar and length of that sentence, Aussie rules is gaining popularity at a much higher rate outside of Aus. You see, your(notice I used the right your, not you're) opinion and view includes acknowledgment of one  and only one top sport. Why is it that both sports can't exist, and if you think that footy is such a weak sport I would love to hear your views on golf, basketball, tennis, etc.  I find your entire argument opinionated and biased.

Aussie rules: 4   Wayne: 0

Answer 19

Your right mate AFL is a pathetic game the world game is way better.

Answer 20

why dont u shut ur mouth put on a pair of boots and come down on the weekend? and see how cowardly it really? is

Answer 21

I'm an American who loves footy.  I don't understand your gripe with one of the best sports in the world.  Personally, I respect rugby, but find it about as exciting as watching paint dry.  Give me the athleticism and speed of the AFL any day!

Go Doggies: 1954 & 2007!

Answer 22

frist of all its not and we do have a internatinal world cup it just that Australia dont compete in it because it would be unfair because we play pro and there all amatuer second of all you didnt ask a question you just voiced you opinion in a form of question so this would be much better suited to a forum

Answer 23

All i know about rugby is that..you guys finger eachothers bum hole!!

prove me wrong!?

its also i think a scientific fact that rugby players have an average I.Q of about 12

and also AFL guys pull the hottest chicks while rugby players have to sadly rape and abuse their women

Answer 24

Sir, for what it's worth, Australian Rules Football is the greatest sport on the planet, what with all the running and kicking, and especially the high, leaping marks for the footy!

This sport is so magical, there's nothing else like it to get a fella's heart beating faster!

Answer 25

LOL.  if you asked this  ?  to get a reaction.  it sure worked.   i really hope it wasnt a serious ?.  or you have a real problem.

Answer 26

What i love afl football its just so exciting ! Maybe u just dont like it its ur oppinion but i happen to love the game!!

Answer 27

It's funny Mr Kerr, in places like Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth you play rugby because you're not good enough to cut it playing AFL!  Give me a game where contact can come from any direction, not just from the people in front of them (where's the skill in avoiding contact when you know it's coming).  Get back in a scrum and stick your head up someone else's butt.

Answer 28

dear (wayne last name kerr)afl is our game who gives a stuff what usa think of it.ur stupid bum sniffing game QUEENSland and NSW (aussies bigest g*y community)just dont get it.where do you get off on calling a bum sniffing game like RUGBY a pommie game Footy.The only game in the world called FOOTY should be AFL.Its the only game where you can score a goal with your foot and only your foot the ball cant touch any thing else if it does you dont score a goal.Rugby should be called throw ball.soccer you can score a goal with your ***.just tell me .why is it the interbreed fat neckless pigs that play rugby just arnt fit enough to play a real mans game .i guess youll never know you must sit down to go to the toilet. why cant you even get a decent crowd at your games unless QUEENSland and g*y town are playing with each other or then self.give your boyfriend a big sniff as you play Rugby with him.The world showed us cricket rugby tennis ect and we kicked the world *** at there games do you think for 1 minute they would try to beat at our own game.

you toss

Answer 29

omg u must have a reel problem. wow uve got a good a big response. I rekon afl is the best game followed by cricket and rugby union and then a few other sports and the rugby league.

In a majority of skools afl is the most popular sport, that has all of the popular and cool kids in it, usually though u have to play afl and rugby union (not league) to b cool.every1 at my skool talks about footy and we have free dress and other activities on the western derby day (freo vs eagles). If u havent noticed on the sport news afl is always the first...b4 rugby. I do enjoy rugby tho its pretty good, but only wen australia is playing against any1 but nz or the western force is playing. if u havent realised australia hasnt dominated rugby, but new zealand has, even if they dont have the record they r dominating at the present time.

and hoo cares wat usa think, wen afl went overseas they had large crowds of americans enjoying the game. we dont need to impress the otha countries, ur obviously insecure about something if u think we do! and girls can also play afl, and everyone noes girls in singlets and tights are cool! short shorts r also cool. stop being so sexist.

if we rnt international then how would we give them that impression. honestly afl rocks and yeah u must be like one of those geeky kids jealous of the popular kids hoo were good enough to play afl.

btw if aussie rules is pathetic and cowardly what about ping pong, golf, CHESS!?
