The Native Iowan

Not that I watch a lot of sports. A bit of baseball. Maybe the playoffs. I do like the Rugby World Cup, the Tri-Nations and other Rugby Union contests. Rugby 7s is hot.

But just changed channels to an “AFL”, Australian Football League, game. Brisbane Lions Vs St Kilda. I’ve lived below the equator long enough to learn the differences between Union, League and AFL. AFL is a great game.

A number of years ago Ray Charles was in an advertisement for AFL and it basically was saying something like… “watch AFL where white boys can jump”… and Ray comes on and says ” white boys that can jump, I’d like to see that”.

AFL is good. I strongly suggest that anyone that is an arm-chair jock to check out the game. You will not be disappointed.

But the point of my comment: On the TV service I get there is a small description of what the viewer can expect… movies will be either comedy, thriller, drama, or something similar. Some programs such as Myth Busters, etc simply are titled “entertainment”.

Now when I changed to the AFL game (which I will watch) it states “Box & Wrest”…

Makes perfect sense to me…
