Fieldwork Findings: Gaelic Sports

Gaelic sports unite Irish people as one. Although they are popular games not everyone in Ireland knows about their origins and watches matches regularly. It is like football in Argentina but they are amateur sports so you cannot be a professional player as in football. Irish people say that the difference between rugby and Gaelic sports is that rugby is a sport for hooligans played by gentleman and Gaelic sports are hooligan’s game played by hooligans. But they are for women and for men so the women are able to play and enjoy them too. They are played worldwide but always in Irish communities, for example they are played by Irish communities in Australia, UK, and United States and in other countries. Finally I found that they are difficult and excellent sports that can be enjoyed by anyone who wants to play them.
