GAA drop amateurism now that someone else will pay

[Philly]

Lads my brother plays for the Kildare seniors and I can tell you one thing - "expenses" are pretty much nil. It costs extremely little. Petrol money. That's it really. This is a case of the GAA trying to get something or a pledge out of the government as the election looms.

The GAA is backing the proposal for the state to pay senior county players 'expenses', such as, in the player rep's own words, 'DVDs and washing powder.' This is being interpreted as, in effect, pay per play.
Women's GAA and other levels in the game are asking why they shouldn't also benefit.
Why should football not be entitled to similar benefits?

Sure when you're using the Na Fianna facilities at the Bohs a.g.m. there might be someone around from the GAA you could ask.
