Americans on ESPN explaining Aussie Rules
« on: July 09, 2015, 07:51:55 PM »
From ESPN's SportsCenter in US:

“If I’m not mistaken, it’s a blend of rugby and mugging someone,” Connors said. 

Referred to Collingwood as “Collingworth”.

“I don’t know what a ripper is, but I like it [Lindsay Thomas' mark],” Flores said.

Mates who have gone over for work or college or whatever have said that the yanks are very accomodating for different sports unlike our Aussie Rules vs League divide.

That's a decent amount of airtime for what is an little known amateur sport over in the US. The interviewer was so impressed by them going to the "National Championships", he kept saying it over and over. "Hey guys, we'll be rooting for y'all"  :wavetowel.

I laughed at the "more athletic" remark. That's true, endurance wise, in the AFL but plenty of those American ammos have been in a good paddock ;D.
