Actually I was going to say them same thing about gridiron, it's sort of

I get the impression that Aussies don't spend as much time worrying
about current events as Americans seem to do, but they take their

I watched Australian Rules football back in the '80s when it was on PBS.
The players kick the ball, run with it, pass it, tackle each other,
etc.; all in sort of a haphazard way.
Meant to try and find the rules, but got busy and never did.
