The AFL is extending its socialist business practices to discriminate between different categories of fan.
There is a $2 levy charged for every person attending an AFL game and that money is taken from the home club’s revenue and put into an equalisation fund.
Under the AFL plan, Collingwood, Essendon, Geelong, Hawthorn, West Coast and Fremantle would be taxed an extra dollar a fan in a scaled increase over a three-year period.
Looks like a club tax on attending home games. So support your team by watching it on tv – or by attending away games (easy enough to do in Melbourne). I like the idea that the opposition clubs get to lose money if I go to the match.
