Last weekend there was a huuuuge game here. The all Ireland Gaelic football final..Dublin won for the first time in like a million years and people are still going crazy about it.
Naturally we studied all about Irish sport in my Irish Culture class today. Hands down my favorite lecture so far..cause I'm a bro. But in all honesty very interesting how closely politics and sport go hand in hand here. Fun Fact: Athletes in Ireland are all amateur, which I think is pretty cool.
To reinforce this topic tomorrow we are going on a field trip to play all the traditional Irish sports..
Here is what I have to look forward to:

Love the subtle 'better than American sports' feel you get from these videos.
