A Sydney Swans supporter made headlines today after refusing to grace a local pub with their presence unless it boasted polished floorboards or, at the very least, jade tiles.
While Sydney has always been a Rugby League city, local boy Riley Foster (34) has opted for the southern game, preferring its grace, in depth strategy and higher percentage of Anglo-Saxon players.
“Yeah I just prefer AFL because it actually has culture,” Riley said.
Witnesses watched in awe as the self-proclaimed connoisseur of elegance, clad in the team’s signature colors of red and white, approached the entrance of the establishment, only to recoil in horror at the sight of its carpet flooring.
“Yep there is absolutely no way I’m entering one of those povo pubs, I spent good money on these RM’s and I’m not confident that these disgusting floors won’t leave them with some stains.”
While many onlookers were stunned by the display, pub workers were far from surprised.
“We see this every swans game, they stick their heads in, look at the carpets, and walk away, it’s how we even know AFL season is back on to be quite honest.” Said the bartender.
“It’s a matter of principle, you see,” explained Riley.
“I don’t want to be sharing a pub with thong wearing Rugby league fans, they’re violent thugs” He insisted while watching an AFL player punch another in the head unprovoked on the TV.
