Before I start this thread, let me say that I am a football (some of you may call it soccer) fan first and foremost.
I was never overly mad on Gaelic games, probably because I was forced to play it at school for years instead of football, and we all wanted to play football
I do appreciate it as a game, and even more so the effort that the players put in to train and play in their own time.
However, now that there is the whole uproar about players looking to get paid is it going to go the way of football and be ruined by huge wages, sponsorship deals, marketing, hype, TV?
You can understand the players wanting to get paid, but is this the beginning of the end of this amateur game?
