Is it just me, or is this classification system... ridiculously stringent?

Anybody have any thoughts or explanations? This just seems so pointless.

I am not Australian, but any of the Australians I have met didn't care much for American Football. Perhaps it is absurd that it doesn't get a classification for containing drug use, but I doubt many Australian gamers would protest it if they don't have any interest in it to start with.

Not that it answers your question, just something that struck me. I am really surpirsed there is even a market for American sports games outside of America. FIFA selling in America makes sense, NFL selling in certian parts of the world surprises me.
