Yes we should.
No one can beat Australia at Australian Football...the Irish would come closest but they're not in the same league.
It really is chalk and cheese trying to compare the two sports.
They're nothing alike.
The requirements to play them are totally different.
About the only cross-over position (as we've seen) is the kicker fellows. (punters)
It's like comparing a twenty metre shot putter or a muscled up 100 metre sprinter to a 400 metre middle distance runner.
Endurance, repeat efforts, protective gear, ground covered, skills...so many differences.
That's not to say the American game doesn't generate a bit of world-wide interest when the Superbowl rolls around.
Mate I'm not suggesting for a second they are anything alike (thank god). IMO, its one of the stupidest sports on the planet. I have no interest in it whatsoever (other than canning here given all the air time it gets).
