NRL vs AFL in America

[mrcasino]

Both sports are being televised in the US.. These are the ads for them , which ad sells the best do you think?

Think the NRL ad was better, but I could be biased

Someone should tell them that the term 'Rugby' refers to Union not League

 

[Juro]

To me, 'rugby' should be used by either rugby league or rugby union. I think it is a crime that rugby union gets away with ownership of the word 'rugby' like it does in Australia.

always hated that AFL is referred to as "aussie rules"
their ad didn't look as tough as the NRL one.
if I had never heard of either sport, NRL would be my pick because of how brutal it was portrayed in the ad, compared to the AUSSIE RULES ad.

Wtf @ Fox Soccer though….
:neutral_face:

 

[bonstonker]

the afl ad was shocking.

all they showed was player reactions.where were the big marks.
one of the best things is the big speccy,and they only show one.
should have at least shown andrew walkers grab from last year.

fox just sucks at everything.

The full term is " Rugby League "
Always has and always will be. NRL stands for " National Rugby League "
ARL, and QRL, NSWRL, NSWJRLFC, all of these bodies have Rugby League in them.

Perhaps when RL broke away from RU, they didn't realise how big both games would become in this century :laughing: otherwise they may have thought up something different when J.J.Giltenan formed the " Rugby League " working party to get it off the ground.

The one thing AFL possibly has going for it is the spectacular mark. How many did they show in the ad? One! Who cares about kicking a goal from an acute angle? Who cares about guys celebrating after doing something when you don't see what they did to cause the celebration? Like you said, shocking ad!

You're indignant for no reason, cant be a 'crime' if the word was in use for more than eighty years before RL was conceived. Thats like Dyson wanting to use the word Hoover
