For example, you will easily find that hurling is a sport close to hockey and baseball… Gaelic football, meanwhile, is a kind of fusion between classic football and rugby…
In short, it’s not easy to find your way around, not to mention the rules that vary easily from one sport to another!
Nevertheless, the Irish are particularly attached to their sports. They alone symbolize Irish culture and its history!
