Former Olympian and runner Jerry Kiernan doesn’t think so.
Because he thinks GAA players don’t train hard enough.
Talking to Newstalk’s Off The Ball last night, Jerry said:
“I think the GAA are the richest sporting organisation in the country, they should be well able to look after themselves.”
“I don’t particularly like the GAA, I don’t like football in particular. But I watched a couple of the games, bits of the games over the weekend and what struck me was actually how unfit players were.”
“We’re giving so much prominence to a sport that I feel they don’t actually deserve it.”
“GAA players don’t have the right commitment to fitness. I don’t have a high opinion of their fitness. I don’t have a high opinion of their commitment to fitness.”
Brave man.
