Unfortunately, from all my dealings with my local GAA club, I can only concur with your opinion that it is an out-dated money-grabbing organisation.
When I played underage soccer, certain members of the team were warned that they would be barred from playing GAA if seen playing soccer.
The bias against soccer contiues to this day. The same people who shouted at children for playing soccer are the same ****ers down the pub shouting for Man Utd and Arsenal.
The main pub, which is seen as the GAA pub, easily turned its back to GAA before on a Paddy's Day when the premiership and rugby clashed with a Galway team in the All-Ireland Club final. 3 TV's, and 2 with soccer and the other with rugby.
I'm on a bit of a rant, but the fact is that the GAA think the world of themselves, and cry treason when anyone questions them.
The GAA haven't got a penny from me in years and hopefully never will again.
