well in the 2 week hiatus - fox news must have sorted out some of their priorities... they have just reported 'footy' as meaning 'soccer down under' -- bravo fox news
actually footy is either rugby or else afl which is a purely australian sport based on irish gaelic football....... it's never soccer which is always referred to as soccer (or wogball)
afl is a pretty good game and the places that play it are superior as a result (melbourne, adelaide, western australia).... rugby is a completely brutish, stupid sport (played in new zealand, sydney and elsewhere)
americans are most likeable when they say factually incorrect stuff about other nations -- eg footy meaning soccer downunder...... americans are never more likeable then when they do this
in fact, the only reason i refer to pushy, bigoted australians as 'ossies' and not 'aussies' is becoz i wish to save the correct terminology 'aussies' for those australians not normally recognized as australians by americans or ossies of european descent (eg., asians, etc, who will never be recognized as aussies by anyone do to their race)
