Sorry, i deal with facts and figures not opinions
And when you say "no one cares" thats a rash generalisation. The tv ratings speak for themselves, people will watch the games on tv but wont bother to go to games especially when that puts families down over a hundred dollars each time they get out to games. Hell, if you can watch something from the comfort of your lounge room, on a winters night, for absolutely free.. its an easy option.
On the basis of crowds, you can say that the AFL is more popular than the English Premier League.. now that's not even close to true
Also.. peak of 4.08 million watched the SoO last night. Yes, no one cares.

Growth sport? What are you talking about?
And of course you'll say AFL > Rugby (though you probably mean Rugby League as Rugby refers to Rugby Union)...it's just everyone in the Northern States will disagree. That's how it will always be. Especially when you take into account the atrocious TV ratings the AFL receives in QLD/NSW (even live matches).

no really in any reasonable meta-analysis of team sports they are effectively the same dumb thing

Perhaps because you've maybe only watched about 4-5 games of league. Some league fans cant stand union and vice versa - because they're different.
The concept of scoring trys is the same but thats where the similarities end. Everything else is pretty much different; ie points for certain goals, tackle counts, line outs, scrums and how you advance up and down the field.. and the latter is what fundamentally differentiates the two
