And if you want to talk kind of metaphysically about it, I would say this –

We as human beings love to see something that has never been physically done.

Everyone that's able to has run in a straight line as fast as they can, whether they were 10 years old or they do it professionally at 25 or 28 years old.

Everyone's the everyone that can jump has tried to jump and touch the top of the ceiling at some point.

Right.

The fastest, most explosive thing.

large, strong athletes on the planet in various forms are NFL football players.

And I'm not diminishing the AFL.

There are obviously AFL athletes that are as good as our best athletes in the NFL, but I'm just saying by and large.

And so I think you take that, then you couple it with the fact that

that the whole United States map is represented basically in the 32 different teams.

Couple that with the fact that the rules of the sport are engineered where legitimately every team has reason for hope going into a season or going into, as we call it, any given Sunday.

Literally, the Cleveland Browns could beat the reigning Super Bowl champs.

The New York Jets could beat the number one team in the NFL at any given time.

And not to hate on the Browns or the Jets, I'm just picking teams that traditionally haven't been the strongest.

I think you put all that together and then we love the physical nature of it, too.

And I know the Aussies do as well.

When you watch the AFL dudes with no pads on, some of those dudes didn't even have mouth guards in, I noticed.

And they're crashing into each other like that.

Like, United States, we salute you from our land to yours.
