Shane Curran: Why ‘last great social pillar’ GAA could go way of Roman Empire

Shane Curran has warned the inequalities that beset Gaelic football at present could see the sport in ruins in 20 years’ time.

The former Roscommon goalkeeper expanded on the argument he had started to make on The Sunday Game last weekend, claiming the GAA believes it’s almost “untouchable”.

Curran echoes what former GAA president Peter Quinn said eight years ago, when he warned “the Roman Empire ruled the developed world for nearly a century and disappeared in about 20 years”.
