Look at all the usual whiners complaining about American football when two of the first three stories are about Australian football. Don't disrespect the Australians like that, show them that you're irrationally threatened by their culture saying things differently than you too. Or admit that what you really feel is that cultural differences are great, so long as they're not American cultural differences. Each of the 6 major English speaking nations has championed a different version of "football." You're just keen on the British version today because they were the America of the era in which these sports were codified, in terms of global influence. Their sport wasn't even first, the Irish one was.
