Australian rules football is the greatest sport on Earth. With 18 teams competing in Australiaβs most popular sporting competition the Australian Football League, highly powerful and athletic players clash for the yearly premiership and for their passionate supporters. Not just national, but local football is also very intense as people come from far and wide to unleash the passion for their club. Australian rules football is the game for everyone, and is growing in popularity overseas in Oceania, Asia, Europe, North America and the United Kingdom.
My mate Jimmy follows Australian rules football, and him and all of his mates reckon it is the greatest sport in the world. Because it is!
If youβre a true Australian, then youβd follow a true Australian sport for a true Australian sporting competition, most preferrably Adelaide

A sport in Australia only nationalised in the late 80s, yet is already easily the most popular sport in the country. It is the most popular sport all over Australia except for eastern NSW and Queensland. The game is religiously hated in coastal NSW for no reason in particular.
Australian rules football has its flaws, however once you get to know it, you will realise that it is one of the most all-round sports in the world. What I mean is that to play "Aussie rules" as it is also dubbed, you must be strong, fast, extremely endurant, courageous, skillful, smart and also have that added X-factor to make the athletically impossible possible.
The game is played 22 a side with 4 players on the bench and unlimited rotations. The ball starts in the centre and the players need to get it forward and kick the ball inbetween two large posts. The game is very hard to explain in words and I recommend you watch some games or just simply look up AFL on youtube.
It is a brilliant sport and is probably the most all around challenging to be elite at, as it is rare to be good in all the neccessary areas. You could say it requires the perfect athlete with a very good sporting brain.
The sport will not go global any time soon but will probably become what the NFL is to America.
In the end, I recommend watching it with someone who is knowledgeable of the game, who can explain its little intricacies. Watch it a few times and you will either love it or become confused and angry.
Australian Rules football is the most popular sport in Australia, followed by cricket then rugby (both forms).

What you get when you allow Australian convicts to invent a sport.
They should change it to the CFL (Convict Football League).
- Shockingly minimal skill (kicking and catching a "ball")
- Atrocious off-field antics (Public urination)
- On field goings-on, including testicle grabbing
- Only "sport" in the world to reward failure eg. If the player misses the goal, he is rewarded with one point
- Search 'AFL'on the internet, and you will be amazed at what you will find
- Stabbings at games *are always covered up due to the AFL friendly media...they do a good job*
I am thankful that I have one full Australian father and a non-Australian mother. Thanks to mum I was not kept ignorant (as all Austalians are), to the sheer atmosphere, velocity, adrenaline and awe-inspiring skill that is Football (Soccer *said in a cringing, childish voice*),that full Australians just do not get. I feel sorry for them and for all who do not understand this.
I am sure this is not the case, but Football is what God made legs for :). It is one of the greatest sources of happiness; particulary for the poor, sad children of the earth. Whatever you beleive in (a major problem in our world)just be happy and positive. Please...
I do not like 'australian rules football', I love Football it makes me happy...Oh and I haven't even started on Criket. :)

A place where Orthodox Jews and Evangelical Christians put aside their differences and come together in their shared hate for Muslims.
But why try to define LGF? Let the regulars speak for themselves (all comments from LGF regarding the tsunami disaster):

Am I the only one wondering how many muslim women drowned in these waters because they were wearing islamic dress and were weighed down by their clothes?

why would allah kill a bunch of righteous Muslims, when he could have just as easily sent a tidal wave to kills the infidels living in the great satan?

I think it WAS punishment for having Sharia law!~
Indonesia is the largest muslim country with 1 billion people.

Question to Allah: why did the tsunami not hit the infidels in the US and Europe who are further away from Sharia than Indonesia's inhabitants? Why did Allah some time ago send an Earthquake to Bam, Iran and to Izmir, Turkey when there live Muslims? Is Allah not feeling well recently?

As a Christian I am torn as to whether we really should be helping these peoples of Aceh?

Am I the only one who is really conflicted over sending any money to muslimville? I think what happened is terrible but then isn't sending them money a bit counter-productive to our interests?!
To recap: South Asia deserved the tsunami because of its Muslim population. If one is Christian, one must help relieve the suffering of your fellow man if that fellow man is Muslim.
Come to LGF to see compassionate conservatism in action.
