GAA going professional ‘a dead duck’

THE concept of the GAA ever going professional is ‘a dead duck,’ according to president Sean Kelly, who warns that the consequences for the association would be dire.

Rejecting media views ‘telling them otherwise,’ he states that the day the inter-county player has no affinity to his club or county ‘the GAA will die.’

“Professionalism is about one God - money - and where that god holds sway we have great exploitation and corruption in the name of sport. God help us! Why change something great for something worse!’’
