I do believe that Australia has the largest collection of fair weather fans in the world......This numpty will probably traipse off to the Church on Sunday....Australian Culture at its finest

Hey gutterfax...
Don't go ragging on Australian sports fans... Look at what we have compared to UK.
AFL, NRL... two top flight competitions drawing amazing crowds and TV numbers week in week out during the winter. Heck dont forget the S14 teams.
In summer a hugely popular cricket team, a growing (but average) football league that people turn up to watch crap week in week out. Throw into the mix all the minor sports, and huge amounts of participation over a variety we have you trumped all in a nation the 3rd of your size.
Come here and I can watch 4 leagues of football rammed down my throat, thrown in with a bunch of cups. Deep in the sports pages I may find some other sports info or get 3 minutes of the hourly bulletin on SKY.
Throw out the usual church line and rag on any aussies who may be reading this, sure to get a few more through the gates.
