Autostraddle, a publication, has lauded the tournament as potentially the most inclusive sporting event in history. The footballers in Australia and New Zealand were able to be their true selves without any judgment or ridicule. This stands in stark contrast to the men’s World Cup in Qatar, where homosexuality is illegal. Murray Drummond, a director at Flinders University, pointed out the struggles that men’s sports face in accepting different forms of masculinity. It is unfortunate that this positive narrative went unnoticed and should have been given more attention.
I am curious to know what Con Houlihan, the late and great sports journalist, would have thought about the fancy attire worn by Gaelic Games commentators. He was more interested in the substance of the writing rather than appearances. Houlihan left behind a wealth of writing that was donated to a local charity for preservation, but they are struggling financially to cope with the workload.
The promotion of clothing brands by GAA analysts during The Sunday Game does not bother me. I hadn’t even noticed it until now.
Fionnán Sheahan seems determined to create his own narrative surrounding Ryan Tubridy’s departure. It wasn’t Tubridy’s lack of contrition that led to his departure, but rather his inability to keep quiet and his arrogance. Sheahan should focus on more important issues.
I was pleased to learn that RTÉ’s new director general, Kevin Bakhurst, will not negotiate payments with agent Noel Kelly. In the early days of RTÉ, the director general was not afraid to lose big names. During that time, the budget was much smaller and the highest paid star received a modest fee per episode.
Thierry Henry’s appointment as France’s Under-21 manager is an exciting development. I have confidence that he will excel in this role.
Ireland must be cautious not to follow in the footsteps of Trump or Brexit. Many conversations in the country revolve around concerns such as a flawed justice system, an enabling welfare system, and an immigration policy that lacks proper screening. It is important to remember that being prudent does not equate to being right-wing. The media often overlooks these concerns in favor of other topics. Basic law and order and fairness seem to have been forgotten. Countries across Europe have seen a rise in support for these messages, and Irish parties should take note to avoid a similar situation.
