This isnt a comparison , maybe it can be called a clickbait headline but thanks for reading, and its not a sledge at Mason Cox. Full credit to everything he has done and hopes to do.
This is about the latest advert by the AFL on Mason Cox. I get that Mason is a good player but the advert is factually wrong. Hell you only need to listen to the first 10 seconds.
'when Mason came to us , NO AMERICAN player had ever played a game of SENIOR AFL footy''
If they are trying to say he played football in America, even the ad doesnt mention it. Basketball then '' I got a call to go to LA and try out for this ''AFL''
Matthew Sanford Wheeler born in California https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanford_Wheeler made his debut for Sydney in 1989
But I guess that doesnt count for the feel good story.
Factually incorrect and give Wheeler the credit
