If they'd go to a smaller ball and give the players sticks to toss the ball and to smack each other with, I'd watch more.

A great game. It's one of two (rugby being the other) that I do not truly understand but will sit in the stands and watch all day.

Hurling is precisely what I do when someone suggests soccer to me.

When in Ireland, you have to.
The fans are also all drunk at the game, so the entertainment is doubled.

And hence the name "hurling" too.
