Replying To boxtyburgerbuns:  "A business arrangement with your greatest rivals never works out. You can't see the wood for the trees. I'm well grown up. You're the one who seems to be sniping."
Your paranoia regarding rugby is even more bizarre considering Cuala winning yesterday. A club drawing players from some of the wealthiest parts of the country. Adding to their hurling title. If you were to believe the lazy sterotypes espoused by some people here, strictly rugby country. Similarly, Kilmacud.
The point is that if you give people a choice they'll pick what they enjoy and it generally follows that if they enjoy it they may also be good at it. I've no doubt Con O' Callaghan could have been very good at other sports but he chose GAA. I don't hear any rugby supporters bad mouthing him or the GAA for making that choice.
Paranoia, bitterness and begrudgery only push people away. Stop looking over your shoulder and look at ways to make a positive contribution to your club.

So you've never heard the slurs bogball or stickball being used by some of the rugby set on social media.

But sure whatever I say you find fault with it, so what is the point in engaging in a conversation about it?

Clickbait on social media is just that. Designed to get people worked up. It obviously works in some instances.

Good post. I think also you will find that Leo Cullen played for Kilmacud Crokes during his UCD days. This doesn't necessarily mean other than that sportsmen sometimes try different codes.
