GPA blast online abuse of Cork players

The GPA have described the online criticism of Cork’s footballers on Sunday as "beneath contempt".

Sean Potts, the official players body’s head of communications, slammed the reaction by some supporters to players’ performances in the Munster final defeat to Kerry.

After the Cork County Board came to the defence of the players, former Cork hurler and mental health activist Conor Cusack hit back at their detractors. He tweeted: “It would be wise of the keyboard warriors to remember that our real warriors, our players in the arena, wear more than their county jerseys.”
