Why not?
Only because (as a sport) we lack the courage and vision to imagine it so. It's way bigger than football in Oz. So there is nothing written into the games themselves that make one more popular than the other. And it's not like things always stay as they are. In 1813, there was no professional sport aside from racing, pugilism and animal fighting. In 1413, we were absolute world beaters at archery. Times change, regardless, but only in the direction you want if people choose to change them. As the hilariously-named American business guru Zig Ziglar said, nobody every looked around and found themselves at the top of Everest. You need a vision, a belief, a plan, and years of work with those three things in place.
