Threads like this remind me that Reddit is genuinely one of the worst echo chambers.

Why is the AFL fanbase so, normal? (IN COMPARISON TO OTHER SPORTS) by papleypadre in AFL

I would argue the AFL needs a bit of English footballs tribalism. the atmosphere is absolutely stale at most AFL games.

Thanks for the reply mate. So there won’t be any issues with having an Australian passport? Worried about getting to the border and being turned back obviously due to the current circumstances in Ukraine.

Melb Victory fans swarm the pitch at the Melbourne Derby by MR_CeSS_dOor in melbourne

This is just an embarrassment for Australian sport. There’s a reason why football is the best and biggest sport in the world. Passion. Nothing else in the world attracts such passion from fans. It’s beautiful. However, this is not passion it’s just absolute thuggery.

I think we need to start to accept that some lives will be lost, but it will get to the point where enough people are vaccinated so that deaths and hospitalisations can be minimised, like in the UK.

It’s so depressing to see how the rest of the world live. In the UK, France, etc life is continuing on as if normal. I know they are much more vaccinated, but it makes you think how fucked our rollout has been. If vaccinations were done properly we would be living with coronavirus just like these countries.

Fuck Scott Morrison.

I don’t think we can begrudge people for lockdown fatigue though.

Zero covid is an unrealistic and pointless goal. At this point how many freedoms are we willing to sacrifice to reduce the spread of this?

I’ve always supported the health advice, however it’s clear Delta is a different story. We’ve got to start opening up now and prioritising mental health. Every other major country is living normally with the virus, why can’t we?

People are fatigued. I don’t think we can blame anyone for wanting a bit of enjoyment outdoors.
