There is only one thing dumber than footy players...footy supporters.

Every year for the grand final I keep wishing that the terrorists would blow the thing up. Its got to be 80 000 people the world wouldnt miss right?

I love the footy (and rugby and cricket etc)!

There's about 20 other channels on free to air now so dont complain about having nothing to watch/tv is crap etc.

Best thing ever is fox footy. All games live, no ads!

And what do you mean no benefit but money...how about encouraging kids to take up a sport! There's already enough fatties out there, anything to help control the fat problem is good.

Watching a game that involves peak fitness, strength and skill is about 10000000000 time better than watching The Fattest Loser and Mastercook etc.

The players aren't even from the areas the club represents. I find it hard to support a company.

the problem is that sitting in front of the idiot box drinking beer and eating crap for 2 hours at a stretch doesn't do anything for anyone's fitness- it doesn't matter what's on.

and what makes the "morons" who love it wrong?? and your ilk right??

i can't understand why people who hate footy always call those who love it morons, sheep, thugs, inbreds etc

sure there's money involved but where isn,t it...windsurfing eh!!!!!!!

and loving/supporting a team and going to the temple to worship on the weekend, as opposed to going to the temple/mosque/church!!!!!
sure as **** aint caused any wars that I know of (except maybe for soccer)

If you love it great, but those who don't are on a higher level as they all seem to portray when complaining about 3/4 of the Australian population who do love their sport as supporters or players or "fat slobs who just watch"

You should love em even more on GF days when the water is empty

Go and play with the locals out in Hermansberg West in the NT or other outback communitites. Bring with you a brand new Burley or Sherrin and give that to their captain at the end of the game. Then tell me that the promotion of AFL or NRL for that matter, is of no benefit.
Jeez, sometimes footy is the only thing keeping these guys from commiting suicide.
The more people and more communities that these elite level sports can help the better.
Next time, instead of sitting on the couch, head down to the local footy oval and watch a game or go to a WAFL game with the young ones. Running out on the oval and kicking a ball through the sticks at half time is still as awesome as it was when i was my sons age.

Footy is the only thing that gets some of our kids to go to school. We have "bribed" a coupla kids by dangling the chance to play footy for the school team in brand new boots we purchase and hand out wen they complete their side of the bargain by turning up more often than not!!
Clontarf college uses footy as the carrot to get indiginous boys to go to school, im sure the same is done in the rugby states too.

Is my horse higher than yours footy/sports haters😱

Sounds a lot like a few crew have never played the sports or were just crabs when they did.

Best times of my life were winnin footy(afl) and cricket finals.
Still play cricket to this day. Great flat day sport, which i get to play a fair bit of it bein a summer sport.

There is a distinct difference between local footy and the bleating media of 'proffessional' Football, or the the aristocratic game designed so it could be manipulated to serve a gambled out come which they call cricket....



They do it to keep us distracted and stupid...

The gulf is still spewing oil, japan is beyond containment or control, yet all that matters is a retarded singing show hosted by morons..

And the next election in this backward country and the united states of complete d1ckheads is gonna be decided by who supports gay marriage....

I was a ticket season holder for a few years.
Found nothing wrong going with the mates in the winter, when the wind is down, have a couple of tinnies, watch a game then go to the pub.

We were not into the sport, but it used to be a fun thing to do once in a while.

Sounds like TROLLing to me

I fail to see how Sport, in particular footy, is a couch-potato orientated sport...it's pretty hard to kick a footy sitting on the old lazy-boy?

AFL was our invention why not be proud of a game that produces elite athletes that match any other elite athlete in any other chosen sport? Provides opportunity for Communities ....offerss opportunities/hope/ditractions to those less fortunate(inparticular the indigenous communities) if there was no footy what else would they been doing?

And what about the community side of sport in general...have you been to an auskick day? have you seen how many kids and families attend every weekend? This sport you despise so much does more for community moral\and involvement than anyone actually realises...and what if it didn't exist where do these kids/families go or what do thay? become real couch potatoes playing computer games...

yes it is a big business...so is surfing...**** I sat on my couch last night for 4 hours straight watching Brazil...

I love my footy I've played footy for nearly 20 years I'm no couch potato and I'm no brainwashed moron...where does this put me? My biggest gripe is that there is a push to move more games on Pay TV which I refuse to get.

As a side note you might want to watch a recet game once in a while those "near on cock jocks" you refer to are nothing more than running shorts.

Problem is that the masses are so obsessed with sport,that they lose awareness and interest of more meaningful events,as the doc earlier pointed out.

When knowing the playing stats of Eagles players takes precedence over knowing how many parts per million of industrial waste/fluoride is in the tap water,then it's clear the masses are being distracted deliberately by the corporate media that promotes sport in such an overbearing fashion.
