web-goddess: Helen the AFL fan

Wednesday, July 14, 2004

I giggled way too much reading Helen's explanation for her decision to officially barrack (Americans: substitute "root") for the Essendon Aussie Rules team. My favorite reason she offers is: "[AFL] players hug each other in a caring and proud manner upon doing something good in a game." I totally get that.

Ooooh! I feel famous! I was going to write something about how they look less inclined to involve themselves in pack mentality type behaviour but a discussion with my boyfriend about the local football team put that idea to rest. (Go the Bombers)
