Mission Statement
Hurling is a lot like jazz; those who actually appreciate it can’t really fathom why others don’t, but they’ll be damned if they’re going to stoop to explain it all.
Here at Plastic Paddy, we steadfastly believe that this is a sport that deserves attention. Too few games in the world offer the same level of excitement, speed, rivalry and tradition. Also, the potential for serious violence is huge!
Unfortunately, the international audience is left largely unexposed to the sport. There’s a prevailing assumption that it’s a game for the Irish that only they could possibly appreciate. Press coverage is limited, long on jargon and short on fundamental explanations. Finding a game on TV usually requires a trip to the bar in the wee hours of Sunday morning, and paying a sizable cover charge.
Our goal here is to filter the news and information to make it idiot…er…American-proof. If you’re the sort of hurling fan who prefers your scores to involve no math whatsoever, we want to be your one stop source for scores, news and information.*
*Which we will collect from more reliable sources and link. But have no fear! We’ll be sure to explain it to you as though you were retarded before sending you that way
