Hi @niallon11 this game is amazing i'm from colombia and i didn't know it but some months ago i was watching some sports on internet and i watched the final game of this season and the final of hurling too i have to say wow that's a spectacular sport rugby,basketball and football all in the same game nice saw people here interested in this sport. Regards
It's brilliant to see how far our sport can make it across the world. Sky sports show a lot of the games and i would be a huge hurling fan as well. I go to a lot of the games.
There are a few other Irish people on steem and i can see them posting about our sports as well. I'll use the tag #gaa for anything that's up and can hopefully show them to a few more people as well.
Yes in my country colombia soccer is the most popular game but i'm a person who likes know new alternatives and in this case gaelic football and hurling are sports in my list, why both sports aren't popular in other countries? for example rugby is very popular in europe and something in latin america, gaelic football is a spectacular show in would like to see in a future a world cup about this sports wow that's will be epic. Regards
It's popular amongst irish people but it's a fully amatuer sport that most people have never heard about. We don't try to market much ouside the country but there are clubs in most parts of the world from people who have emigrated.
Maybe in future their will be more demand across the world but it's a very local and tribal thing still. Without paying the players it would be hard to compete with the bigger sports.
