Replying To LongfordgaaAbú: "There is a strong hint of 'If we can't do everything we should do nothing' about many of the remarks here. There is a very specific difference between say Allianz and Amazon versus other companies involved in GAA activity... Allianz and Amazon are explicitly cited in the UN report linking them to material complicity in what was/is happening in Gaza.
Those protesting Allianz are perfectly legitimate in doing so IMO, and should also protest Amazon's involvement too. If that offends you, don't join the protest. But to try and de-legitmise it by making a 'let those without sin...' argument seems to me an excuse never to do anything unless it solve everything. You can't make any progress with that mindset."
Politics should be kept out of of sport end of. Allianz also insures Air lingus ye gonna stop flying with them for your holiers? Doubt it . And the protest yesterday was a dusgrace and people actually got injured. What did they achieve by it ? Absolutely nothing pathetic !
I strongly condemn the Pro-Palestine protestors for using violence against GAA officials at Congress yesterday. It's sickening. If they had Irish tricolours, they would been arrested for hate crimes probably. GAA needs to send a strong message to the angry mob that attacked our Congress. Jarlath Burns is a decent man, and no doubt he will have more to say about this abuse from elements inside and outside the GAA. Enough is enough.
