| Post subject: A doco by Americans on AFL |  |
|
Just happened on final five minutes of this doco with American tv crew
Mason was explaining that at VFL games fans gather round to listen at the break “It just doesn’t happen in US “Mason tells then
They used a Collingwood v Carlton game to highlight the passion
And a fact the tv presenter mentioned “AFL is 4th in the world for spectator
watched code”

Oh and Joffa with his gold jacket had the fans roaring as we went down to

I think it remains 1st on a per capita basis.
Edit: or maybe that stat is for attendance at games rather than attendance plus TV viewers |

| Unfortunately for us living OS. SBS won't allow us to view it. Is there any other place or link where it can be seen? |

Mossi, you need to get around the geo restriction.
This is one reason people use anonymous VPNs. Some VPNs are free; some need to be purchased. I don't know what the best free and commercial ones are (it may be debatable), but there is a thread on this topic in the VPT forum of Nick's, where a couple of Nicksters have suggested the ones they like best.
There are also browser add-ons that let you switch the locale. I don't know which ones are best either.
Do a web search for more info. It's worth working out, because otherwise you won't have access to many things, incl. the game replay videos. |

Use a Proxy or a VPN

| One of the things that amused me was that the American presenter and Mason both agreed that his Texan accent had been corrupted into a part-Australian accent. Does anyone hear any ocker in Mase? I don't think I do. |

Where’s Mason from —Texas / Oaklahoma either way both these adjoining
states have a real drawl in their speech
Mason still has that drawl but the Aussie influences very subtle are mixed in
Reckon he has assimilated to Oz good
