[QUOTE="RoosTah, post: 766461, member: 12207"] ^ That's obviously true, but soccer fans argue the same thing and yet no one wants to pay top dollar for the A-League because not enough people in Australia care about it and its ratings are now falling. The international appeal of something is ultimately irrelevant from the perspective of an Australian broadcaster, because they have to sell the TV time to companies looking at our market. For the record, the government does provide some funding for Union, but I meant specifically the national sides; the Wallabies don't get government funding here, but I've heard the ABs are directly subsidized in NZ by government [/QUOTE]
