Surely the least diverse sport in ireland attracts these people
What happened Ryan OāDwyer?
Fuck off with this shit. Racism is an international sickness. Youāre a sad man if you think itās alright to get one up just because you dislike gaa.

South Tipperary is a fierce backwater and full of corner boys
Not the former Tipp and Dublin hurler.
I find myself nodding my head in agreement with you there tbh
Im saying the gga is way behind other sports in its inclusiveness, it should be called out on it
Iāve heard a few racist remarks at LOI games too mate. Thereās idiots and cunts everywhere unfortunately.
All we can do is lead the way through showing love and compassion.

Agreed, idiots everywhere but hurling and bogball as sports seems to be more a less a white irish game only looking at the make up of the teams competing for the a ireland (with a few exceptions)
If 10% of the popualtion are immigrants then intercounty GGA is way behind
Think youāre answering your own question there by the fact itās an Irish sport means immigrants will most likely have a background in international sports like soccer and will naturally continue playing when here ?
It is but I think a significant factor is that immigrant families are familiar with soccer. Seeing lads handle a ball and punch it or wave a dangerous stick around the place probably seems a bit unusual to them still.
Edit: similar sentiments from @Bisto in post above
Yes, but immigration has been happening since the 90s , the kids of these are irish born and bred.
The football team and football clubs are benfitting greatly , the gga needs to catch up

Read this nonsense yesterday. He came across as some bitter clown. Embarrassing read actually. What was he on about Limerick finding a grey area in the game? The offload and throwing the ball was it? Nowhere did he mention Limericks ball skills and execution is better and faster than any other team. He also compared Limerick to a Clare 20s team he seen recently that had everyone behind the 65. Limerick always have 2 inside and also have no problem playing it long and direct.
Also never mentioned the great games we had last year, Limerick involved in 3 of them.
He sounded like an auld man on a bar stool tbh.
