There are 6,602,224,175 people worldwide who speak an estimated 6,500 different languages.  The number of existing cultures remains incomprehensible.  And since you began reading this, approximately 25 more people call Earth home.  Within this continually changing world, few truly universal commonalities exist.  What are these rare world unifiers?  Sports.

Footy Boots sent to South Africa

Submitted by Anonymous on September 26, 2007 - 8:59pm

The footy boots have been packed and sent to South Africa, where I am sure they will be happily accepted. We ended up shipping one large box (it was the largest size box that the Post Office would accept) filled to the top with boots. I find it encouraging knowing that our donations are now being used by other players in South Africa.

SACKED Essendon coach Kevin Sheedy yesterday confirmed he would miss the club's best-and-fairest event next month as he seeks to make a clean break from the Bombers.
