GAA vs Soccer debate heats up.
Stephen Hunt’s article in the Sunday Independent today has caused a bit of a backlash in GAA circles.
Hunt’s article compared football players and GAA players saying that he felt there’s was a big difference between the levels of commitment for both sports.
The direct quote from the article reads:
“If GAA players tried to live with the level of commitment shown by a professional footballer, they wouldn’t know what hit them.”
Mayo footballer Colm Boyle must have picked up a copy of the paper today and read the article because he’s had his say on the matter on Twitter.
So Stephen hunt reckons gaa players wouldn’t have the mental strenght for soccer because its all about training and resting #whataclown

Needless to say, Colm doesn’t quite agree with Stephen.
Hat-tip to the Independent.
