I'll never understand this. Does anyone actually even watch this? It's just so American.
Wonder if the AFL will recoup their $5m investment on this too. How many local clubs and leagues on the brink of folding could that amount save?
I generally watch the entire broadcast - but I am hardly tuning in for the entertainment. Just put an Aussie artist on and be done with it - you're right in that the money could be far better spent on grass roots footy.
