Indeed, but the underlying data used to produce that map shows that more people attend AFL. The TV data depends on if you believe in the antiquated way in which TV companies continue to collect information. Given we pretty much ALL are digital viewers now, there are far more accurate, if far less profitable ways to collect information on who is watching what.....but if you adhere to the old methods, then in Metro, AFL rules, whilst in regional, NRL is king. As for soccer......the recent Asia cup attracted an average of 20,303 to games.....not far off the 2014 Four Nations average and well ahead of the last stand alone AU RL event.
