Martin Breheny: Hypocrisy in full flow as GAA is always judged by standards that don't apply to other sports
"Sunday's American football game at Croke Park is the latest event to draw criticism"
"American football's alleged links with unsavoury philosophies - an issue of concern for the GAA? Check."
"Allegations that a subsidiary of Allianz played a support role in sustaining and paying for Israel's actions in Palestinian territories - an issue of concern for the GAA? Check."
An American football game at Croke Park provoked public criticism. Critics raised concerns about perceived links between American football and unsavoury philosophies and suggested these links could worry the GAA. Separate allegations assert that a subsidiary of Allianz played a support role in sustaining and funding Israel's actions in Palestinian territories. Those Allianz-related claims were positioned as an additional concern for the GAA. The combination of ideological linkage concerns and corporate-association allegations raised questions about reputational risk, ethical considerations, and how sporting bodies select events and partners.
