I am not sure if any of you have had the privilege yet to watch one of these games, but I saw the Georgia Force v Philadelphia Soul game last night - well part of it anyway. And here was a run down of what I saw.
-Teams owned by Bon Jovi and Ron Jaworski. :hangs head in shame:
-Different rules based on which stadium the two teams are playing in. Stupid. Just stupid.
-Players who don't even break a sweat.
-An overall feel that this is just some guys who got together to play touch football (since you don't have to tackle in this league). There is NO suspense, excitement, drama.
-Interviews with players who take their station in life way too seriously.
I will not watch an AFL game again. Nor should you.
I understand that the management team for the NHL has done a piss-poor job of marketing their product, but it is 100x better than the AFL. I am almost ashamed to live in a country where a major sports network will not option the NHL but they pick up this garbage. (Yes, I am a hockey fan. Yes, I am biased. The AFL is still a joke.)
