I would watch more sports if I could hear what the players and refs say to each other

The XFL is trying to incorporate more of the refs' talk. But that's mostly between refs, not refs to players and back

I tried to watch and understand it ... and then there was this little guy in a white suit when there was a kick through the upright ...

Yellow now? Every match I watched had a dude in a white suit doing that same motion. That change? Admittedly, I was watching ~10 years ago.
ILikeToCallItLostWages
I think they wanted it to seem less like a horse racing sport and closer to soccer. My guess anyway
drunkill
changed about 15 years ago. It sucks, umpires should be in white again, bring back the butchers coats.

Yes. Took a mark, got a free kick as a result, he kicked a goal.

Its deemed dangerous. Its the worst part of out game is the rules are loose and often "interpretation" from the umpire is needed

Hahahaha joking aside there sre shiiiitloads of rules. But less concussions than nfl. Alot of arguments that protective gear increases concu
15buckslittleman
Ssions. Afl players dont tackle with their head or lead with their head like nfl. Without a helmet they seem to protect the head more
raifsevrence
This. A lot of the injuries that happen in the NFL are enabled by the body armor, pads and helmet they wear. The armor lets them smash into

Each other with forces that would otherwise kill or maim them. They wouldn't be able to play the same way without all the gear.

"Cunt" can still be used as an insult, depending on context. If you could substitute the word "guy" in the sentence, then it's casual usage.

It's not rugby. It's Australian football. I have never known the rules, but as far as I could tell almost anything is legal. It's kinda nuts
tony1695
Normally, it would be ruled 'in the back', which isn't legal. As he was going for a mark, though, and he succeeded, it wasn't.
