Shamrock Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 AFL likes to describe the GF As it's 'Superbowl' to the US. Except, the NFL is a much bigger market and has no competition for football final, as far as I know. See, yesterday, the southern city of Mebourne hosted the AFL GF, which is watched across Western Australia, South Australia, Victoria and Tasmania, sparingly in over states. Today, there's the NRL Grand Final that's watched in NSW, Queensland, sparingly in other states. It also explains to the US that it's the Super Bowl equivalent. How many Super Bowl comparisons can we make. If our National Soccer League plays their finals should we explain it to the US as the Super Bowl of soccer? Can Australians stop trying to compare their local finals with the Superbow, it's becoming annoying. My brother, who lives in the US cable does't even carry the AFL GF...

Chef Jim Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Aussie Rules Football is actually a pretty cool sport. My wife and I used to watch it a lot in the 80's (I think). Haven't seen a match in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PastaJoe Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 My son in Boston went with an Aussie co-worker to a bar that showed the AFL game, which started at 12:30am EST. There were around 100 Aussies at the bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
