If you think Gaelic football is interesting you should check out hurling - I've heard it called both "the fastest game on grass" and "a cross between field hockey and murder". The game predates written history in Ireland (although I assume it's changed a lot with time).
Here's some highlights from a recent game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rNbodFzlwI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rNbodFzlwI
I honestly find it nearly impossible to follow what's going on when watching it in person.
- tssva 3y agoBoth Hurling and Gaelic football are played in the US. https://usgaa.org/ https://usgaa.org/ I live in the DC area and both used to be broadcast on a local station. That ended years ago. GAAGO is a paid streaming service which allows you to watch games on your PC, mobile device or smart TV. Edit: Wanted to clarify that what used to air on TV and what is available through GAAGO are Irish matches and not those of the USGAA.
- stanford_labrat 3y agomaybe apocryphal but I was always told that hurling was designed to strengthen young boys to make them good warriors. basically lots of running and fighting.
