<DIV></DIV>>I've been scanning some Australian news sources (by
<DIV></DIV>>the way, what's the deal with the detention centers
<DIV></DIV>>that people keep breaking out of? Are they holding
<DIV></DIV>>immagrants under armed guard? and if so, for what
<DIV></DIV>>purpose and how long?)
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>Anyway, I naturally tend to scan the sports pages even
<DIV></DIV>>though I don't know squat about Australian sports.
<DIV></DIV>>I've looked up some references to Cricket and Rugby
<DIV></DIV>>and the AFL. So here's my question: Are there
<DIV></DIV>>national professional sports in Australia? Besides
<DIV></DIV>>the national Cricket team, it seems that most of it is
<DIV></DIV>>either local or regional. I've seen a little bit of
<DIV></DIV>>Australian Rules Football on late night ESPN and sort
<DIV></DIV>>expected there to be a national presence (I'm from the
<DIV></DIV>>US and our professional sports leagues are very much
<DIV></DIV>>national based rather that regional). But most of the
<DIV></DIV>>AFL teams are based in and around Melbourne. I sort
<DIV></DIV>>of expected Sydney to be more represented. Or is
<DIV></DIV>>Melbourne more of a "National Capitol" than Sydney?
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>I don't want to waste too much of your time, but I am
<DIV></DIV>>sort of a sports junkie (at least US sports) and I'm
<DIV></DIV>>sort of fascinated by how it's structured in
<DIV></DIV>>Austarlia. I've decided that I want to follow the AFL
<DIV></DIV>>this season and I clearly don't have any rooting
<DIV></DIV>>interest in any team. Does anyone outside of
<DIV></DIV>>Melbourne and the few other teams care that much about
<DIV></DIV>>it? I'm just wondering.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>Randy
