Wha! Heresy!!! the 'opium of the masses'! we are talking about here! this is an Aussie forum after all, and thats and what aussies are all about, isnt it?(apparently) what would we make small talk about if it wasnt for sport?
How would politicians get unpopular laws passed and win specifically timed elections if it wasnt for the endless distraction of bread and circuses! what would Howard regularly soften his draconian image whilst turning oz into a Thatcherite paradise? 'he's a good bloke, he likes his sport doesnt he?'
What would all the bonehead jocks do? no more breathless hyperventilating after game/match/laps interviews littered with gems like: 'I got a lot of self belief in meself'.
And I agree with Alex, you got to give people an outlet for their bloodthirsty primitive warlike tribal instincts (besides fishing).
And re anyone calling soccer boring, what about swimming!!? the sport we excel at the most on the world stage! man I want to gouge my eyes out and perform a self labotomy when they have ten hours of swimming on tv - I am positively catatonic if I catch even a glimpse of that on tv. Nothing beats that for boring!
Lighten up dude - just go with the flow - or you could find yourself on a pacific island detention centre for subversion or sedition.
and oh yes and ... GO THE CROWS!!
