"Ten shows AFL on Saturday night in Sydney and is thrashed by Iron Chef on SBS, but is determined to "help grow the game".
Similarly, Seven allows Foxtel to televise its AFL Friday night Match of the Round in the northern states, or "the developing states" as the AFL confidently calls them. Yet the NRL swallows the excuse about "damaging the product"."

One excellent point that could equally be made to the ARU - even if the game gets hosed by the AFL in a live head-to-head, do they really think it will rate better when it is delayed to a post-midnight slot?
Why do you think JO'N calls AFL the Gorilla in the room!

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
