My thesis is that violence is much more common amongst soccer spectators than AFL spectators because there's not enough vicarious violence to observe and satiate the inner barbarian compared to wussy soccer matches...

As if we needed more evidence that soccer is the most pussy-ass sport in the world. Competitive menstruation is more manly.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

AFL is just Rugby League for the middle-classes.

Not really. Afl is dominant in Victoria, South Australia, and Western Australia. Rugby league is dominant in Queensland, New South Wales and ACT.

That's unfair. I believe several Rugby League players have read a book.
