Australian Rules Football, or Aussie Rules, is hands down the number one sport in Australia, but the majority of the United States of America has never even heard of it. In an effort to change that, a group of people founded the United States Australian Football League (USAFL) in 1997. As of April of 2007, the USAFL had more than 35 teams and nearly 2,000 players across the nation. Although that was a decent amount of growth for the sport, the board members of the USAFL came up with their goals for the next 10 years. Those goals included expanding the league to 10,000 participants, to have one percent of the U.S. population become aware and interested in the sport, and to secure four new league sponsors.

In these cities Hudson could hold events that would give information about Australian Rules football and also offer some type of free merchandise to attract people to the event and also persuade people to begin to watch Australian Rules football. Another market he should look at is college towns because many college students will find a team they like and become a very loyal fan to that team. Creating loyal fans is very important for trying to create awareness in a population if no one is talking about something it is not going to catch on. The loyal fans will give free exposure by wearing team apparel, talking about the sport itself, and introducing people they know to the sport. Another market that Hudson should try to break into would be the sport bar and restaurant 's business because many people who like football go to theses establishment to watch games.

The restaurants could also offer some type of deal to attract more people to the showings of the games to further extend the line of

In the 2015 AFC Championship Game between the New England Patriots and the Indianapolis Colts, the Patriots were accused of tampering with their footballs. They allegedly deflated the footballs to 2 PSI below the legal limit, supposedly giving them an unconstituted and illegal advantage. On May 11th, 2015, the National Football League ruled that the Patriots organization was guilty, penalizing them with a 1 million dollar fine, the loss of a first round pick in the 2016 NFL draft, and the loss of a fourth round pick in the 2017 draft. Tom Brady, the quarterback, was personally penalized with a four-game suspension for his involvement in the incident. He claims, however, to be innocent and has been exhausting every possible legal avenue to avoid his punishment.

People go through different events in their lifetime, and that fact alone alternates their views on the world and who they are along with who they want to be. Because of events like these, people tend to see things differently from one another. Thus, not everyone sees what I see on a soccer field. Being a player myself, I can see that not most players see the pulchritude in the grass, adrenaline doesn’t shoot up their leg and cascade through their body from simply the touch of the ball, the butterflies don’t always grow in their stomach as they race up the side lines, and not many people can admire all the worth of even the goal posts, which set your boundaries for the perfect shot. For most players, their teammates, coaches, fans and even

After petitioning to take the team to a varsity level, Anson Dorrance, the male team’s coach at the time, helped take them there. He was impressed by the team, and recommended the school create a women’s soccer team. The team was created, and Dorrance was made the head coach. The team started off slow, playing with a club schedule against high school teams. In 1979, the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women established a national women’s soccer program. Because the UNC team was the only women’s soccer team in the south east, there was the opportunity to recruit the best players without competition. Dorrance proceeded to recruit the most talented freshmen he could find for the team. Eight of those recruits led the team to win their first, and only, AWIW Championship. Since then, the team has been the NCAA
