Re: Jason Story getting headlines
Story is, like most News Ltd stories, factually incorrect.
Mike Pike is American (Canada) and has played AFL football.

You're trolling, right? Canada might be part of North America but when have Canadians ever been described as American? Or Mexicans or Peruvians or Jamaicans, for that matter.Bunk_Moreland wrote:Story is, like most News Ltd stories, factually incorrect.

Re: Jason Story getting headlines
The title of the article is "Jason Holmes, Eric Wallace, Mason Cox, Patrick Mitchell vying to become AFL’s first American player" not "first player from North America".Bunk_Moreland wrote:Yes because it is in continental Australia physically attached by land just as Canada is in continental North America.plugger66 wrote:Are people from NZ Australian?

Right
Jason in the video refers to himself as hopefully becoming the first American to play AFL. Reckon he knows a bit about the subject.
Your original comment looks more like an opportunity to pot News Ltd again.

BM you know he means USA and Northern America. He is hoping to be the first from the USA. Was Shane born in Australia or NZ?

Re: Jason's Story getting headlines
America = USA, only the most pedantic and contrarian are going to pretend otherwise. What else are they going to be called, United Statesian?
Also NZ is just Australia's Canada. They're a satellite that receives far less attention but wants to be important, are often confused for Aussies, and are quick to interject how different they are.

Bit of a difference - Canada is enormous compared to the USA in terms of land mass - but they do share a continent and a very, very long border, which, until 13 years ago had many sections which were porous.
New Zealand is a lot smaller geographically than Australia, and actually takes a long time by plane to get there.

Re: Jason's Story getting headlines
I just read this in the hard copy and was thinking exactly the same thing. I actually think its a fantastic thing that he can bring a different perspective on things to our playing group - especially the positive attitude to the living away from home issue, which has to be a bonus given our interstate kids.saintbrat wrote:http://theage.com.au/afl/st-kilda-saint ... 08pw9.html
Definitely has the right attitude

lines on a map but without a unified consciousness.
Some people feel they want to be important (part of the individual trip) but plenty aren't fussed thankfully.
Reg: attention. What's important anyway?
