Hahaha

I fucking hate how football players are revered in Australian society, when in reality they are a pack of bogan meat-heads. What I hate even more is how if you open the sport section in the morning there is 10 pages on some stupid footballer breaking a toe, then and 50 word article on the tour de france, or some other great sport being totally ignored.

We just had a chat about drugs over a communal lunch here at work, and out of the eight people there, only one of my colleagues had tried anything past gunge (LSD and MDMA 3 times each).

I just sat there pretending I'm completely ignorant of what it feels like, how much it costs, the effect on your body etc.

Regardless of the sport, my point remains:

Shitty parochial football: 90% of press

Every other decent sport in the world: 10% press

oh yeah, completely agree mate. i love soccer, gridiron & ice hockey. i dont have pay tv. how jewed am i!?

australians love sport that:

that australia is good at

unlucky for the rest of us.

if god came down and designed THE perfect sport, but australia were shit at it, nobody would follow it.

go to any country and the papers are like that though, just substitute for the popular local sport. Whats popular gets the most attention, why the surprise?

I'm glad we don't have to put up with Basketball, Gridiron, Baseball and NASCAR at the end of the news every night or on TV in place of something actually worth watching.
Like Antiques Roadshow, it rocks!

It's sad that this gets so much news coverage. Who cares and who is actually honestly surprised?

Boo hoo, so he took drugs. Awesome, great job on the reporting Aussie media
