Some of the arguments in this thread are so petty. Who gives a stuff what's Australian and what's not?
Excellent point. This telling people what to call sports nonsense has to stop. As for supporting Australian things only, can you imagine? We'd be a country with no immigrants, everyone driving Falcons & Commodores and the only take away food available would be vegemite rolls / four n twenty pies (are they still australian???!!!)
We'd only be allowed to drink VB / Carlton / West End /XXXX - how boring. Rejecting anything in favor of something else because it isn't Australian borders on racism IMO. We need to be a country that embraces all sorts of cultures and we should embrace football with wide open arms as it is the only thing we have in common with every single country in the world. And it wouldn't hurt to showcase footy to visitors from other countries while we are at it.
