Title: Gary Walsh - Laois player Tweet
Post by: sid waddell on March 28, 2018, 04:47:34 PM
A prima facie case of bringing the GAA into disrepute here, I would have thought.

As well as the obvious toxic misogynism, there's an incitement to break the law contained within.

There's no way this should go unsanctioned by the GAA.

There was once a player convicted of bringing the GAA into disrepute for diving.

Diving might be reprehensible, but I think you'll agree it's not quite in the same ballpark as publicly calling for the public humiliation of a plaintiff in a rape trial and inciting others to break the law by strongly implying that she should be named.

And the governing body of that amateur sport has rules that the players have to abide by.

Whether he should be banned or not, he's fairly proven himself to be a complete and utter tit.

It's not his first time at this particular circus, he should do himself a favour and come off it more than anything.

Diving in a GAA match presumably!? Not diving at 5-a-side soccer or into a swimming pool or any other walk of life that is unconnected to the GAA.
He's an idiot obviously, but it's nothing to do with the GAA.

To be fair, one of the things we tell all our players is that they are representing their county, their clubs, their families and themselves. When they pull on a county jersey, fair or not, there is a level of responsibility in how you conduct yourself. Obviously the GAA can't be held responsible for his personal opinions, but he needs to be cognisant that he represents that county, and by extension when he publicly says something like that, he is bringing unwelcome attention to Laois GAA.

Similar to when Darren Gleeson defrauded that old man, it had nothing to do with the GAA per se, but it certainly brought discredit to the county. A lot of people in Tipp wanted him dropped immediately.

Luke Rossiter's tweet:

Drogheda Utd went with a more sedate:

Drogheda United Football Club is horrified by comments attributed to one of its players on social media this afternoon.  The club finds comments such as these disgusting and have no place in football or society.  The matter will be investigated and dealt with internally by the club while the rest of the squad, at all age levels, will be reminded of their responsibilities.  Opinions expressed on personal social media accounts are in no way representative of the club.

Whether they are aware of it or not county players are role models and should behave accordingly. Same goes for provincial rugby players

"The club finds comments such as these disgusting and have no place in football or society" is the sort of comment that made sense before social media lifted the rock of society to see what was crawling underneath .
In the good old days there say 5 national papers and everything was mediated. Social media is a free for all.

As well as the obvious toxic misogynism, there's an incitement to break the law contained within.

There's no way this should go unsanctioned by the GAA.

That old chestnut.

He's perfectly entitled to say what he wants. "Freedom of speech" does not mean he's not allowed be condemned or automatically cannot be considered to have broken any rules around codes of conduct.

Freedom of speech would also allow him to say "I hate niggers and faggots and especially ngger faggots" but you'd not have many people telling you it wasn't an issue for the GAA in that circumstance.
