Mehr zum Buch

"Covering League, Aussie Rules, Tennis, Cricket, Football, Swimming, Netball, Union, Quidditch and many more, Titus looks at how sport has united Australians and given them something to do in their spare time. Part history, part social commentary and part the ravings of a madman, Titus examines- League vs Union, what it says about you as a person ; Why it's the AFL's fault that Victorians are so awful ; How soccer is the biggest threat to Australia since Communism ; Can you not like sport and be an Australian? ; The etiquette of watching sport ; Cricket, is not boring, OK Sharon? ; Horse racing, not just about betting but mostly about betting ; The Olympics or why Australia is only important every four years."--
