Will the arseholes that are in torturing supermarket workers turn their attention to the GAA now ? I have a feeling they won't

GAA president Jarlath Burns has said that a decision to cut ties with Allianz could have left the association potentially "toxic" to other sponsors, warned that the disruption to clubs would have been significant and said that the financial impact would have been severe.

Speaking on RTÉ Radio 1's Saturday Sport, the Armagh man also stressed that the company they deal with – Allianz Ireland – has no links to the ongoing war in Gaza and staunchly defended the GAA's response to the war in Palestine.

I know that's partitionist but does reflect the level of interest and support for Palestine apart from in Dublin GAA. Is much more awareness and activism in the "wee six"

You'd not have the slightest f**king clue about it if it wasn't for the petition delivered to Croke Park signed by people from all over the island.

My bad... is that why the county boards opposing the Allianz sponsorship are Tyrone, Fermanagh, Derry, Down, Antrim, Armagh, Leitrim, Roscommon and Offaly? Huge take-up in the '26' ... not!
Dr David Hickey and other Dubs (male and female players) have campaigned as well.
By the way that campaign to Croke Park was most initiated and led by Nodlaig Brolly a barrister from Dungiven. I was very aware of it.
You're very angry by the way... it's Christmas 🎄 ☺️

I'll watch this thread with a little, not a lot, of interest. Not for the comments, for it will inevitably descend into 3-4 people misquoting each other as often as possible. More to see if the conversation just disappears quickly with little engagement. For I do believe that's how it'll pan out in the real world.

I'm not sure. I think enough people are pissed off with Burns nonsense to boycott games, or even put on a picket.

It's not just the 'no', it's the dogshit he came out with to justify it.

I'm not sure there will be numbers for boycotts, certainly not in the '26' as its called. I know that's partitionist but does reflect the level of interest and support for Palestine apart from in Dublin GAA. Is much more awareness and activism in the "wee six".
Definitely will be pickets. Protests best way to go... field incursions and such. Jarlath had his eyes on the Presidency for years and said nothing that would undermine that. He's not going to go off message now.

Wrong

Really?! ... even though the sponsor is complicit in that very genocide.

Yes, because I am doing it as I type. The sponsorship deal has no relevance to what is happening in Palestine and ending it will have no relevance to what is happening in Palestine.
The GAA is not complicit in genocide by being sponsored by this company, they just agreed a deal with someone under completely different circumstances which they might not have done if they knew what was coming down the road.

The sponsors are literally funding both the war and investing in the weapons companies supplying the war.

Say you don't care, it's far more credible than lying.

Think I've lost whatever respect I had left for him after that tripe.

He'll be crying himself to sleep, I'm sure.

Says the far right, anti immigrant, pro fox hunting, pro Kingsmill neanderthal who think sexual harassment is no big deal.

Enjoy Christmas in your cave. I'm sure Morgan's will heat it for you.

I don't see any lies and I did say I didn't care about the sponsorship.
BB2 I presume you have resigned membership of the GAA and made it clear to the association why you have done so and I hope your principled stance brings about the outcome you want.

There is a lot of grassroots opposition to Allianz. The excuse that they can't get another insurer is fake.
