[Truth hurts]

The GAA has ignored county boards opinions and ploughed on. Down could make a huge statement.

I go to league games. I for one think this is a nonsense by Saval.

[Truthsayer]

Very unlikely to go through but a great statement from Saval. The GAA hierarchy will get their fill of it over this in the coming months though I can't see a players refusal to play.
Who's going to lift those cups with Allianz ribbons hanging on them?

Fair play to them for putting their name to it. The statement from the GAA was nonsense and an embarrassment to Gaels.

it doesn't matter what else is going on in the world as long as you get to your match 🙄
Fair play to anyone making a stand imo.

Which clubs won't back this motion? This will be a disaster for the GAA when it passes.

[bennydorano]

Why would it pass? Down vote themselves out of the NFL with the hope that others will follow suit? I don't think so.

Yeah cause Down pulling out of the leagues will force Israels hand.
These tokenism knobheads need to cop on.

[Aristo 60]

Its a staggering level of exaggeration to say that this is to force Israel's hand....absolute nonsense comment which seeks to belittle a genuine concern from a well respected club. This is about putting the issue and the GAA's handling of it back into the news spotlight so that it doesn't get forgotten and glossed over.

I would say Down potentially pulling out of a league competition that they've competed in for over 50 / 60 (?) odd years is the polar opposite of tokenism.

Not that I think it will happen but I'm genuinely interested to see what transpires now at the county board level and I applaud Saval for sticking their collective heads above the parapet.

 

[snoopdog]

It was meant as an exaggeration. Like 99% of match going GAA people i just want to go to games. By all means those that want to can demonstrate with their feet.
Hopefully the other clubs in Down will have the common sense.

If the genocide and killing of innocent civilians is to you a nonsense then I hope you make your feelings known to your club rep before Thursday Snoop.

Taken totally out of context, if you read.my initial post, the genocide is terrible, and that the west sits back and let's it happen
What is nonsense is the motion. Keep politics out of sport.
End of conversation for me.

What will force Israel's hand? You can only do what you can do. Getting a company out of the GAA that is complicit in funding genocide is the right thing to do. 'Tokenism knobheads'... shameful comment.

It's doing a small thing thats within their power. If everyone across the world took small actions it would make a big difference.

We aren't doing enough.

How dare they do something.
