One of the big differences between AFL and NRL is the number of Pacific Islanders in League.
Yes, Religion plays a big part in these societies...but
Just a curious aside to this debate....one of my friends is a lay preacher with the Uniting Church.
He does regular pieces at Sunday services.
He was born in Samoa of Australian parents while his father was a minister there over 60 years ago.
He was most outspoken in support of the same sex marriage debate and also super critical of the anti vaxxers during that discussion.
From comments I've read from his church group it seems they were also quite supportive of his views.
I suspect a lot of it falls back to a personal interpretation dependent on close influences.
