Thats right. On last nights AFL footyshow, Jamie Pierre got a solid five minutes air time. This mightnt sound that amazing to some of you north americans, but to see somebody from the industry on australian TV is probably the equivalent of you seppos turning on your TV and seeing Osama Bin Laden on the Jay Leno Show. You just wouldnt think it would happen.
For all you seppos living in a nutshell, i suggest you wikipedia what AFL is if you want to further understand what im on about. The Australian Football League (AFL) is about the worlds 4th most supported league, behind English Premier League soccer, major league baseball, NFL and La Liga in Spain. Millions of australians live and breathe AFL football, and a large proportion of these also watch the weekly Footy Show. So to see Jamie Pierre on their promoting the new Warren Miller film (they showed a clip of the 250ft drop or however big it was) is a huge accolade to him and the production team. I was stoked.
And mad props to the guy who met him, bullshit good form

i agree its sick that it was on the AFL fotty show, but the 4th most supported league, haha i really dont know where you could pull that bullshit from, theres probably 5 other soccer leagues around the world including Brazil, Argintina, the Italian, plus a huge range of other sports leagues around the world with a much greater following than your favorite game. but anyway props for giving skiing some time on Australian TV.

it depends on how youo interpret "most supported league" because of the huge staduims that get large numbers of fans into watch the game live, but if you take into account of TV veiwing which is very hard yo mesure in developing nation, soccer is going to have at least 5 leagues highr than AFL + American sports. but i guess statistics seem to prove most things, weather you should belive they correctly represent the statement is another matter. anyway im just starting a augument lol
