The last time was when someone switched away from the International Gymnastics in favour of a Qatar League local football match without asking the assembled company. Aussie Rules and the Union game are both good to watch. Rugby League less so, imho, and FIFA football least of all. Except maybe synchronised swimming?Para Gliderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06615806398448197008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5062806278483377538.post-51429468186225407092010-06-17T12:34:34.958+00:002010-06-17T12:34:34.958+00:00Extract from "The Punch" article: The or...Extract from "The Punch" article: The origins of our one true national code, the great game of Australian Rules Football, remain the subject of conjecture. Some argue that it was invented by a couple of black guys kicking the sh*t out of a possum. Others argue it evolved naturally when the Aborigines rejected rugby on the grounds that none of them were stockbrokers, rejected (rugby)league on the basis that they already had enough mindlessly violent initiation rites in their culture, rejected soccer because they didn’t want to spend another 40,000 years dreaming that someone might actually score a goal.

Check it out on Showtime over the weekend. Aussie Rules is "reputedly" the world's oldest football code being codified in Melbourne Australia in 1858. The following is a review of the various codes: http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/aussie-rules-the-one-code-to-rule-them-all/. If memory serves me correctly we have had this discussion before.
