Football fans look at afl as taking their media coverage and funding 

Wonder if these fans who follow hockey water polo table tennis feel that way about football 

All I can say is handball, basketball and ice hockey in Germany have had marked success and cry out for a proportion in recognition and funding compared to football.

Swimming in Australia is funded massively and they're in their own bubble. Australian volleyball or handball is a semi pro sort of thing. Handball Australia needed the Berlin foxes team to sponsor them in a partnership. 

I think most in Australian government would see "fair's fair" and give all of football's funding to table tennis in a heartbeat
