Did you ever notice that the loudest anti GAA trolls come from counties who are not good at Gaelic football or hurling. Example Joe Brolly of Derry, Mickcunningham of Westmeath- who have not won anything in living memory. galwayford (Galway) - Posts: 2517 - 15/02/2021 10:18:00 2331418 Link 0 |

Can anyone outline what is meant by this 'anti GAA agenda'? The GAA gets unbelievable support from the media in Ireland, way more than soccer or rugby. And in many ways, rightly so as there is huge interest in GAA but for anyone not into GAA and into sports, they must scratch their heads by time when they see the ratio of GAA coverage to other sports on the national broadcaster. Equally, the government gave the GAA around €30 million euros in 2020 because of the pandemic and are indicating that they will give more this year. Plus governments down through the years have given huge money to the GAA in respect of croke park. Now, I know rugby and soccer got supported as well. It baffles me when I hear that there is an anti gaa agenda because I don't see much evidence of it unless you count people who feel that the GAA are only concerned with money, again, there is some truth in this claim, although it is probably overblown in fairness to the GAA. Finally, if it is the government not given them elite status, I have been trying to gauge the reaction and what GAA feel and the prevailing feeling seems to be that a lot of GAA people don't believe that the GAA should go professional and aren't really sure if the GAA is an elite organisation or not. I know that the GAA sees itself as a community organisation, I'm not sure if a community based organisation aligns with an elite sports organisation but i could be wrong. wicklowsupport (Wicklow) - Posts: 1909 - 15/02/2021 16:24:31 2331466 Link 2 |

Here in Galway I know lots of people who hate the gaa, not just for the so called money grabbing, but just the games themselves, people who play them. Words like "backwards" and "boggers" used to describe players, supporters, almost all of these people have never even watched a game. I agree the games get good support from the media in terms of coverage etc,however I'd say that the gaa is in a unique position of being many Irish peoples most lived sport, and many others most hated. I was 14 before I even started following it. Growing up in the East side of galway city soccer is pretty much the only sport kids were really aware of.

There is a small section of the Irish population who are embarrassed by GAA, and by extension, all things Gaelic, rural and Catholic.

Absolutely. I often say that if hurling were a British game, there are many people here who would be interested in it that aren't now. I don't understand that attitude tbh, never have and don't want to. Galway9801 (Galway) - Posts: 1698 - 15/02/2021 20:43:40 2331491 Link 1 |

There really isnt. There is a substantial section of irish population who have totally misguided views on rugby without having any direct or even indirect experience of the sport KillingFields (Limerick) - Posts: 3496 - 15/02/2021 20:51:35 2331492 Link 1 |
