Hurling: Ireland's national obsession

The ancient Irish game of hurling combines the skills of baseball, hockey, lacrosse and rugby in what some have termed a cross between "sport and murder."

Two best things about Hurling and Gaelic sports. 1) They're "amateur" sports played by people fully committed to the game. The real definition of "amateur" is those who do something for the true love of it. Those totally passionate to something for no other reward greater than the enjoyment. 2) As the report said you go to any town, village or community in Ireland and you'll see kids playing. The real beauty is that it's also a great way for kids who's family emigrated from elsewhere to Ireland to integrate into the community. At the kids level, it's a social thing, just have fun! We're seeing more and more kids who's parents are Asian and African take up these games and its brilliant to see.

Every Irish guy has played this game at least once at some point in there lives, me included. Although I was never very good :P. The ball, or sliotar as it's called in Ireland, is a hard thing and is hit by the hurl with such force that if it hits you, it stings like mad. The other great thing about this game is that it's not a professional job. Most of the people who play hurling for their clubs and counties are normal people, bank workers, teachers, gardai, you name it. Also there is a female version too, called Camogie. It's one of the best field sports ever, baseball, lacrosse and hockey don't come close to it.

Check out some 'Hurling Highlights' vids on you-tube man, well worth it. It's also classed as an 'amateur' sport here so the players dont get paid. You play for the town/county you were born in, and theres no separating the 80,000 fans into their own parts of the stadium for the biggest games of the year, never any crowd trouble..just banter. It's also the fastest field game in the world (unfortunately ice-hockey makes us have to put 'field' in that sentence!🤣) honestly man, the toughness, dedication and skillset of these 'amateur' athletes is second to none. And one last thing before I bore ya too much..helmets only became compulsory about 20 years ago!

The bit about where you play being where you were born is fascinating! I think an issue that has emerged in the major American sports is that it's hard to feel as much of a connection to your hometown team when the roster turns over every couple years and you have starts playing for 4 or 5 teams over the course of 7 or 8 seasons. Truly tying your team's identity to the team's home is really cool! Obviously wouldn't work for everything, there would be major parity issues trying to implement that here, but I just think it's neat that it exists in some form!

[@markmurphy4056]

That's because there's minor leagues and literally town and parish clubs, this feeds into school teams and then you're playing for the town and then county, after that it's a move to Senior level and a shot at the All Ireland.

[@UncleMikeNJ]

Let me get this straight: Suppose you're born in County Cork. Then, right after you're born, your father gets a job in Dublin, and the family moves there. Dublin is the only hometown you've ever known. You have no memory of Cork. You have no more living relatives there. You understand that your family comes from there, but you visit, you walk its streets, and it has no feeling of "home" for you. And suppose you become good at what looks to my American eyes like a fun sport to watch. Dublin is your town in every way except birth... and you can only play for Cork? Or, reverse it: You were born in Dublin, and then, right after you're born, your father's company starts an office in Cork, and he runs it, and so Cork is the only home you've ever known, but you have to play for Dublin? No "free agency"? That doesn't sound right.
