Iâm actually pretty certain that the uniforms are designed for the⊠âamusementâ of the 50% of the population with two X chromosomes. Seriously why do you think that there are so many more women into televised sport in Australia cf other countries?
Wait. What about International Rules Football? Honestly the most confusing sport I have ever seen being played.
Okay⊠I thought that baseball and basketball were sports, but if you say notâŠ

Known in the UK as Aussie No-Rules Football. I hasten to add, not jokingly either and with enormous respect.

In Chess-Boxing the composite disciplines are more disparate, but the rules of both are quite widely known; except for the off-side rule in Chess, no one ever gets that one right.
Aussie rules is a rare example of a game that wasnât invented by us brits in order to be crap at it. Being terrible at football, rugby, cricket etc. is just a way to keep up the moral of the colonies doncherknow
