Influence of Sports in Ireland
Gaelic Football Gaelic football isnt as old as hurling but it is still very old. Gaelic Football is very much like soccer, but the differences are that in Gaelic Football you can use both your hands and feet, and the goals are like rugby posts. Gaelic football uses a soccer like ball and you have no padding, its not allowed. Even though this game isnt as violent as Hurling it still has a lot more violence then sports in America and Soccer. Gaelic Football often has many fights, and probably thats why Irish like to fight.
Hurling Irish Hurling is one of the oldest games in all of europe, it was before christianity, its an extremely rough game. Before 1884 there were no rules, so often people get massive gashes in hurling and its not a big deal. As a result Irish people tend to be very violent.
