Anybody else think the GAA sold out here..do you think its good for the sport or are the GAA greedy bastards

Im not too sure myself..for a sport which is amateur i think it should be kept inhouse..if you want to go international then fine but pay the players

Assuming it is not an April's Fools, I see withdrawal of support for the GAA.

It is our national sport, a sport that's played for pride not profit.

I don't get this attitude about 'GAA greed'?

You can look up the GAA accounts online and see where all the money goes.

It's not an association that runs on fresh air and needs revenue streams...and these extra finances are ploughed back into the game just like they were when Croke Park was rented out for rugby and soccer internationals.

Hardly greed when the money is ultimately redistributed back into the game at all levels.

But it shouldn't be seeing as the players don't get paid.

No sport threads here. There is a discussion of this topic in the GAA forum.
