ACTION JACKSON'S SHARK ATTACK
In days of old when nights were cold
and tough men liked to play
Teams were formed
Rules were made
Football became the game
Supporters came from far and wide
Families swelled the stands
And as the players swelled with pride
Action Jackson rubbed his hands
there was money to be made
the rest is history as you know
But that is how the game is played
I am not a football fanatic by a long shot but I do enjoy listening to "When Saturday Comes" where I heard that once again Action Jackson had pulled on the purse strings and would not let the afternoon game between Adelaide & Collingwood be televised live.
Over the years I have never ceased to be amazed at the callous, cunning and conniving ways of the AFL.
Surely a game such as football, in these times of technological advances, could be and should be enjoyed by all those people who are unable to attend matches but are willing supporters of the game.
It's a numbers game Action Jackson and from all accounts the numbers are down and more than likely to go down even further.
Remember Jacko it's the people that count.
