It's not trolling. The fella, who adnits he isn't hugely GAA minded, made some interesting points, but the headline that 'the GAA is in the hearts of everyone, including those who hate the GAA' is as trite as the rugby slogan and will be mocked accordingly if taken up

You're right, it's untrue to say the gaa is in the hearts of all Irish people. There's definitely a fair number of soccer and rugby supporters who would be jealous of the GAA as an organisation Or just flat out don't like the sport. And plenty who couldn't give a fiddlers about any sport. It's prob more accurate to say the GAA has been founded and developed by the Irish people, and therefore has taken on a more community feel to it than either soccer or rugby have managed. So id say the GAA has the Irish people at its core rather than the people having the GAA at its core.

Are any League of Ireland or rugby clubs named after Irish revolutionary figures eg Pearse, Tone, Mellows, Sarsfield, Watty Graham etc.

Are you expecting the GAA to start using this as a strapline?

I'm no marketing guru, but I just don't see it happening

So your point is fairly moot
