It's football, only different

In American football, they have helmets to protect their heads.

In Australian football, they have hair to protect their heads (sometimes).

In American football, you can either run the ball or pass it.

In Australian football, you can dribble it, pop it out of your hand with your fist, or kick it.

We have goalposts.

They have goalposts. Three different sets of them.

Our field is rectangular.

Their's is an oval.

But, despite all the differences, they still sell peanuts, and they sell beer, and you can sit in the sun and watch and listen to the crowd roar. And that's fun, no matter where you are.

Oh, and they wear scarves with their team name on them here. I can't say I'm a fan of that.
