Exactly! At least one person has some idea what's going on.

Compared to some others, I would say you are not too bad at all.
I seriously would like to know how people cope in Summer with no football? Or how do you survive Monday-Thursday of every week in footy season?
Complaining of nothing to do on one day of the year? Anyway its your choice to do nothing and complain about a boring telethon. Get out of the house, do something or as someone else said, watch one of the other 100's of television stations not showing the telethon

Pretty sad that you can't find anything to do today other than watch a football game!!
Go find yourself a hobby.

Normally I have a couple of mates around to watch the football if I do not go to it. Tonight I have friends over for a cards night. Just because I argue the principle of something does not mean I am at a loss as to what to do. Religious festivals are fun times in other countries and cultures. In the Phillipines, you could go and watch people being crucified for real, the same people volunteering year after year. Our religious holiday is such a solemn day.
So people can actually get on with their lives not having footy on 1 night? Amazing, so why do people care? It is what it is, I dont get why people get so worked up whingeing about it every single year, then when the good friday whingeing stops its time for the annual ANZAC day whinge...
As long as AD is running the AFL and now 7 have the rights again, it wont be changing

There was plenty of opportunities to participate in religious activities today.
But a solemn day? That's the point of good Friday.
You make a compelling point.
May be we just need to get off our butts and do something instead of complaining what's not on tv.
Good point!

I believe in the death but not the resurrection. I am not a believer, and atheists and agnostics are probably in the majority in this country. Why should my day be restricted by a belief to which I do not subscribe?
It shouldn't be.
Is it? Is footy not being on the only thing that inconveniences you?
If we look at it this way:
1. The first round of the season we had 1 game for the weekend. That is a bigger inconvenience for an even lesser reason!
2. We don't have a weekly Thursday night game. But we did this week to account for Friday.
So technically we are just trading a Friday game for a Thursday game. And no religious entity is forcing that to be so. It's the AFL that is conveniencing you, not religion in general.
Just another way to look at it

Literally the biggest religious occasion for a Christian, and I'm hardly a devout follower of any religion

Just curious if you also support the annual take ANZAC day away from Collingwood push from the main board as well?
I do like how 30 people on Bigfooty are now the majority of Australians though
i live in port melbourne and i mountain biked from my house to donvale following trails near the yarra. i make my own entertainment.
Yet I assume that you're still happy enough to observe the holiday on Good Friday. If so, hypocritical of you - atheists and agnostics should refuse to participate in the Good Friday holiday, and insist on working as normal. Same goes for Christmas Day.

Great point.
I support your view.
However, maybe we should leave it at that and move our focus back to footy. Otherwise we just open a can of worms - and we want the pies board to be harmonious!! =D
^^^ Fair enough, Nicco. This is a board for footy discussion, particulary of our beloved Pies; religion and matters of faith can be discussed elsewhere.

That's just silly. What are you supposed to do? Hang out the front of work just on principle? I'm no monachist but i'll still have the day off for Lizzy's b'day.
Maybe, but my point is that I reckon atheists, agnostics et al probably don't even see any irony in them observing a Christian holiday like Good Friday or Christmas Day.....or using phrases such as "thank God I don't care about either!"
