Crediting the GAA doesn’t take away from other sports

My husband is an Olympic sailor and occasionally he runs with me, but he isn’t much of a runner.

Sometimes I try to sail, which I’m totally useless at. We’re both Olympians with different strengths and achievements in our chosen sports and being useless at each other’s sport doesn’t detract from our own sporting ability.

That’s the thing about various sports, they require all kinds of talents, so why waste our energy comparing them? When I hear an athletics versus GAA debate, I start to cringe.
