There is no such thing as a football code war. On all sides of the media we hear pundits - who are apparently different…
But wars are fought by the needy, and I don’t see any collateral damage only hot air.
The war that's not a war
I started playing golf two years ago and realised I was rubbish but still enjoyed it. Have tried Union, AFL and still play soccer. I agree entirely that the articles are quite boring, but no-one seems to be arguing against the code wars actually existing.
The war that's not a war
I have some doubts that the administration speaks for the fans regardless. In this situation of sport though it’s not imperative that you choose one sport over the other. I doubt you’ll ever be forced to only watch AFL or NRL so market share cannot really be stolen from another code.
The war that's not a war
I think I’ll refuse to compare Pearl Harbour or World War 2 to the ‘code war’.
I don’t think anyone in western sydney have suddenly abandoned NRL or Union as the Giants appeared there. As well as this soccer fans will hopefully follow the new team there and I doubt you’ll see a dip in any other code numbers. It’s not even close to being a frontline.
