The local sports news is pretty mindless these days, with no actual sports to report. So sports reporters search out human interest stories. One such was reported last night on a local channel. The reporter tracked down a young man from this neck of the woods who emigrated to Australia and plays Australian Rules Football. I'd never heard of him, but I did follow ARF for a while back 30 years ago when they were showing some of the games on American broadcast TV. So, his name is Mason Cox, supposedly the only American playing ARF. Ever heard of him? Is he any good?
The human interest angle the reporter took was that he can't come home because that means a two week quarantine, followed by another two weeks when he returns to Australia. Apparently he loves living in the land down under. He has picked up many Australianisms in his speech and accent. Seemed like a nice bloke, from what one could tell in the interview.
