Contempt on Peptides

10 Ways the Australian Football League conglomerate shows its contempt for grass roots football

Despite various subterfuges and secretagogues to hide it, the AFL:-

1.Endlessly tinkers (ludicrously) with rules of the game during the summer, abandons them in the regular season, but maintains their imposition on the so-called lower leagues.

2. Sets its competition, not around fairness, but around TV Scheduling.

3. Swamps us with so much advertising (for fast food, beer and gambling) on such a high rotation, that nausea ensues.

4. Provides nil local coverage.

5. Doesn’t bother to provide local scores.

6. Rapes and pillages young talent whilst imposing trickle-down funding of below-subsistence level on local clubs.

7. Grotesquely extorts and expends billions of TV dollars.

8. Is suspiciously slipshod in investigating drug and salary-cap infractions.

9. Panders to social trends in a manner both disingenuous and exploitative.

10.Dishes up a product so confected, violently over-hyped and piss-weak that the odd good game sticks in the mind for years.
