I was discussing this the other day. Which way do you think the money is going?
1) From Star Wars to the A-league to attract Football fans to star wars
2) From the A-league to Star Wars to attract star wars fans to the A-league.
Disney doesn't need the A-League to promote the biggest film of the year.
Basketball is a novelty sport though so it makes sense to have themed nights for it. Football not so much.
