Enda McEvoy: It’s only Twitter. Why annoy yourself?

“I hate the GAA,” someone tweeted one morning last week.

No, you’re not getting his name on the basis such people shouldn’t be given the oxygen of publicity. Certainly not in Examiner Sport anyway. For the record his identity is neither here nor there. The individual in question was mildly and briefly well known about 20 years ago but hasn’t been much heard of lately.

In this instance he may have been bored and wanted to stir it, nothing more. Fair enough. One would have thought these soccer-versus GAA battles had long been fought and won and that even the members of the Hot Press School of Perpetual Adolescence had moved on, quite possibly reaching the mindbending conclusion en route that it’s possible to enjoy both soccer and hurling/gaelic football. Clearly not.
