[QUOTE="RoosTah, post: 729423, member: 12207"] Well I'd hope rugby would get better games than sports like bloody handball and volleyball. I mean sure they're played a bit recreationally, but they're not pro sports that offer millions of dollars to their best athletes like Rugby, so it's not hard to imagine the market for those games would be negligible. Interesting points on German media though - from an Australian perspective we almost have the inverse with soccer, where for the longest time the sport had to fight against images it was for the timid and wasn't really a game for real men. It's gained some traction now, but even still every time a player dives the ridicule in the Australian media is quite intense. I've always wondered about Germany and soccer though - why did your county embrace the arguably more intrinsically British sport of soccer but shun rugby so much? [/QUOTE]
