    Shticks, passion, hurling and the WhatsApp is apparently the order of the day when it comes to the lives of a modren day GAA player.

    I've just seen a few articles now from the likes of Michael Duignan lambasting the app and Paul Galvin praising it for bringing a sense of unity to modren GAA teams.

    But why WhatsApp and why do GAA players have such an an affinity to the app?

    Why not use viber, kik, or teamer?

    Do muck head simpletons even know how to use social media, like the YouTube or the Facebook without bringing scandal and drama to GAA? *insert stupid culchie long drawn out ha ha here*

    The guards use Whatsapp as well for on-duty work catching criminals purposes

    GAA players use whatsapp because everyone has whatsapp.
    The same reasons anyone else uses it.
    What's the confusion?

    I'd assume WhatsApp is just as popular for participants of other team sports.

    If you're referring to the current controversy that I think you are, I've seen similar dramas develop from soccer and rugby groups.

    I guess it just happens most of our younger 'celebrities' in Ireland would be GAA players, so more likely to be the individuals in question here.

    So you want them to make a video every time they want to say something to the lads?

    Seeing as you were able to post that comment on a social media website I would say that the answer is yes.
