 Ofcourse it is. Glad footy is back! The code is gonna get a huge boost of international viewership - I follow the NFL and American sports quite a bit and have been watching/listening to some Pods, and the Americans are excited to watch. Unfortunately they're all going for "Coxzilla" which means they're supporting the Pies. Diet Crack fucked around with this message at 01:26 on Jun 8, 2020 |

is it gonna be on Fox? or probably FS1 and FS2, more specifically, the sports channels. that's what the nrl's on right now edit just looked into it, the answer is yes. I've got a feeling the nrl, who are currently on late night on those channels, will be eclipsed - some people in the us at least have a vague idea this league exists and associate it with Australia - sad for them oystertoadfish fucked around with this message at 01:51 on Jun 8, 2020 |

I've never personally been a fan of League, it was always Union for me.

league from my perspective is kind of a halfway house between union and American football. maybe a one quarter of the way there house. it's simpler than union, has a limit on tackles, and focuses more on what as an American I call laterals. if a normal rugby league scoring play happened in the NFL (ignoring for the moment the lack of blocking in league) everybody would poo poo themselves but Americans really want to like Aussie rules, I think. it's its own unique thing from our perspective and I can tell you, possibly because of the name, that we assume everybody in Australia cares about it, not just south of the barassi line or whatever it's called. the concept of a nation being split down the middle more or less on which sport it supports is pretty unique to Australia, as far as I can tell. I know the Brits have a region where league is played too but soccer seems to be king everywhere there, it's more about who's the number two football code I know this is all off topic but until the games start I figured I might be indulged. when they start here it's Collingwood vs Richmond. my in laws are long time Richmond fans so that's who I gotta go for I think

Toby Greene needs to be a little more self-aware and come out in a Cobra Kai outfit. Most fans in the US are casuals who support the Dallas Cowboys, or New England, or other big clubs too. I’ll keep my ears open as to how it’s received in the States too, but it’s different than if the AFL had continued through April and May when there was literally nothing else sports-y.

Yeah Waleed is a white collar neolib who wants a better status quo, he's been especially terrible on indigenous issues but he's still better than 90% of the media (gently caress)

I can't remember a time I was less enthused about the return of football. Not sure exactly why. Maybe because I already know that the Crows are going to be rubbish this year. 50/50 whether I'll even bother to watch the Showdown on Saturday.

not sure what I'm a bigger fan of, the fake banners covering empty seats (though it appears the cheer squads put some actual junk behind the goals) or the "fans at home" reactions. I just hope we all get to hear our favorite song after the match https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJtaCryzL20

I don’t mind the fake crowd noise, they haven’t made it obnoxiously loud and you can still hear the players yelling at each other.

Lots of people on social media upset about the taking the knee thing. Whether its a good/bad/cliche way to show solidarity I'm not sure, but its just nice to see racists upset

It seems to just stay neutral unless a goal is kicked. I think I prefer the eerie silence, though.
