Dunno if this has been answered because I haven’t been able to go through all the new pages but I believe it’s similar to soccer being the sport of choice over cricket for black people in a England. Cricket is an expensive game to play, starting with bats, balls and stumps before getting into pads, boxes etc. Whereas to play footy (or soccer), all you need is a ball. Given Aboriginal people are statistically more likely to be disadvantaged, it’s not surprising.I dunno this is a good question which I've asked before. You almost never ever see indigenous kids playing the game even mucking around at home or a school, it's a shame.
