As someone who loves sport, I’ve been considering for a while to contribute to The Roar to express my sporting opinion.
Instead I’ve decided to combine my two interests of sport and statistics to develop a survey about the state of various sporting codes – from everything such as rule changes, media rights to stadium construction, admission fees and competition expansion.
I am not an expert on all sports but have watched every Olympic/Paralympic sport by dedicating those few weeks every two years to learn more about each and every summer & winter Olympic/Paralympic sport. Sometimes the recognised IOC sports gain my interest too.
So as I develop these surveys (which I hope are engaging and successful), if there is a question you are interested in being asked or you would like to nominate a sporting code that I do not normally cover (due to lack of knowledge), feel free to let me know! There is an opportunity to at the end of the surveys.
But for now, I’ve started with the sport I’ve known the longest – rugby league and in particular, the National Rugby League. Its 2015 season has just finished with one of the greatest grand finals ever and with the sudden departure of CEO David Smith, here I will let you provide a way to give your verdict on the ‘state of the game’.
I have put nearly 40 questions in the survey – given it’s the first one I’ve produced, if an important issue is missing, let me know in the end of survey opportunity or if an error occurs during the survey, just kindly draw it to my attention in the comments below.
Even if you do not follow National Rugby League, participate in the survey. You will have fewer questions to answer but your input is just as valued. Survey results will be published in a few weeks to a month. Thanks for your time and I hope my first survey is satisfactory!
Disclaimer: The Roar is not the collector of the survey data. By engaging in this survey your answers will be given to the author of this article.
