Hi Johnson, For those who don't know about this -- it aired last Thursday night US time, I have put a link at the bottom to the online video of the story. It's about 34 seconds long. I thought the story was fairly superficial but anything that helps exposure of the game here is a plus I suppose. The reporter clearly was unaware that many Americans are quite knowledgable about the game already. Unfortunately, the video clips and the Barnes quotes might have left the impression that the game involves a great deal more physical contact than is really involved but given the fact the reporter probably had never seen the game before the story wasn't bad. My real regret is that we weren't mentioned. -Rob de Santos AFANA Chairman US ABC World News Tonight Footy Story
