Conor McKeon: Where the GAA draws the line and at what cost to the association is not clear
Briefly

Nearly 800 Gaelic football, hurling and camogie players called on the GAA to end its 30-year relationship with Allianz, questioning whether that sponsorship crosses a moral line. Players asked where the border lies between acceptable and unacceptable sponsorship, between legitimate funding and money that is 'too hot, too tainted, too bloodied.' The issue is framed as a moral boiling point, probing whether financial support can invalidate the association's values. The players demand clarity on what constitutes unacceptable sponsorship and urge the GAA to define and apply a principled boundary.
Where is the line? The precipice? The border between acceptable and unacceptable sponsorship? The moral boiling point where money is too hot, too tainted, too bloodied? This, in essence, is the question almost 800 football, hurling and camogie players asked the GAA this week in an open letter calling for it to end its 30-year relationship with Allianz. Where is the GAA's line?
