Sit Still & Be Active !

Do you need new -- lateral -- thinking for your own problems? email nick leth at gmail dot com. Need solutions? No worries. Now.

Isn't it funny. Australians are -- we are told -- overweight. Governments spend millions on efforts to get us all to Be Active!

So where does the big money get spent?

The AFL wants our government to spend many, many millions on a football stadium. Not on a football oval, we already have Subiaco oval and the players have no trouble with the size of the oval. No, the problem is with the stadium.

The AFL wants our government to spend many, many millions of dollars on somewhere for 60,000 or more people to sit.

Yes, the AFL thinks that space to sit is the most important part of their commercial enterprise... (I am reluctant to call AFL football a "sport".) Without seats, football is -- it seems -- doomed to fail.

Forget about being active. "Sport" is all about more room to sit and watch.

Are you overweight? Well, you should come and pay to watch highly paid professionals actively fighting in an enclosed space. Forget about lots of smaller spaces to actually play the game. It is far more important -- for the AFL -- that we just sit and watch.

Funny, isn't it.

Well, no.
