      So ridiculous. Just let them play the game. Someone has their skort in a twist

    6. freshfrosted on

      Could they just not enforce the rule? Or is that too simplistic a take on this?

    7. More_Bag2656 on

      I’m no hotshot Munster Camogie Chair, but couldn’t someone in power just say to the ref “let this one rule slide”

      Fucking saps, standing on a stupid fucking patriarchal BS point. The game is nothing without the players. Respect them and let them play. It’s 2025 ffs. Dinosaurs.

    9. tearsandpain84 on

      What about let them play in shorts but have giant barriers on the edges of the pitch so no spectators can see them play. Seems like a sensible compromise ?

      I don’t watch sports at all, but I keep seeing this debate on reddit. One of the most stupid time-waster debates I’ve ever fucking seen.

      The majority of the women DONT WANT TO WEAR SKORTS. How about they just… Let them wear shorts and play the game?

      Such a waste of energy

      The camogie committee:

      > we like skorts and we don’t care who knows!

    12. jimmobxea on

      I agree they should have choice (although why tf isn’t there a shorts skort combo that gives you the benefit of shorts while keeping the traditional look?) and the cancellation is not warranted but is this the new Kneecap?

      Nuclear armed powers warring, murder trials, new Pope, looming final stage of a genocide and all I’m hearing all week is fucking skorts. 

    13. geesegoesgoose on

      What is with the world and the hellbent intention to police people’s bodies and self-expression? It doesn’t stop them playing whatever they wear, as long as they’re not in full plate armour or something.

    14. Tonys-Wax-Hands on

      I didn’t know skorts existed until this week, now they are being discussed in the halls of power. And on Reddit.

      Skorts.

      Skorts.

    17. Garlic-Cheese-Chips on

      *”Women can’t wear shorts”* is one brainless fucking hill to be dying on.

    18. No_Tea5664 on

      This is just pathetic.

      What an embarrassment for the Camogie committee.

    19. Aggravating-Cup7467 on

      It’s not about skorts, it’s about people (and in particular women) stepping out of line and demanding something. That’s why you see no real arguments put forward.

      Instead they try to crush resistance under institutional inertia. Defer the change using institutional mechanisms and then enforce the rules as they are. Because respect my authority and no reason besides.

      Honestly, the guys should go out in skirts just to highlight how rediculous it is.

      I know it sounds crazy, but it’ll get headlines and really draw a lot more attention to the issue, to get that requirement amended.

    21. DesertRatboy on

      If ever there was a time for turning a blind eye, or a wink and a nod, this was it

    22. idontcarejustlogmein on

      It’s actually quote something to watch an organisation be on the wrong side of history, realise it and then go into panic mode. There’s not 1 single person who doesn’t back the players.

    23. Nalaek on

      Anyone that cares this much about what women wear that has no active effect on what they’re doing is a fucking creep or insane.

    24. MemeLord0009 on

      I genuinely have no idea what the fucking problem is. Let them wear shorts

    25. bubbleweed on

      I’ll be honest, I had never heard of skorts before I saw this story on RTE news last week.

    26. JimmeeJanga on

      I would love to see some hurlers throw on a skort and see what the gaa say about it

    27. up_the_dubs on

      Well done to the players. Imagine if the male teams refused to play as well out of solidarity.

    28. Thedudeabides_89 on

      Starts off with a reminder that they are “still in charge“… Pathetic it’s come this far.

    30. coffee_and-cats on

      Wankers! Both teams in the final are in unison about their preferred gear. Without the players, there’d be no game. So, this is just a fuck you to the teams to let them know who’s in charge!
      They wouldn’t force men to wear skorts and if they protested, the rules would be changed immediately!

    31. Ok-Palpitation-2989 on

      Eff the committee, and its great to see the players standing their ground.

      Let them play in shorts if they want. They used to play in long skirts but that tradition changed.

    32. FairyOnTheLoose on

      So I don’t watch the news and barely ever see any Irish news stories in reddit even, but over the last couple of weeks I’ve seen a couple of mentions of skorts. Funnily though this was in my time in Malaysia, which is a heavily Muslim country, where women are expected to wear the head coverings. It struck me as very similar, obviously in ideals, rather than comparative. The reason they have to cover their heads is cause their hair is the thing that makes them irresistible to men. We, in Ireland, have had the older generations of women had to wear skirts, for the same ‘modesty” reasons, and so to me this absolute horseshit of making women wear skorts is nothing short of regression. Where did this idea even come from?

    33. InterviewEast3798 on

      This is such a distraction from real issues affecting the country when you see the likes of Simon Harris doing tik tok videos it says it all 

    34. Vodka-Knot on

      So, it’s a final, the end of this particular tournament, arguably one of the most important events of the year.

      Yet, there is one more thing more important, ensuring the *checks notes*……women wear the pants we tell them to.

      Speechless they’re doubling down on this.

    35. AnarchistPineMarten on

      Marty Morrisey on RTE earlier talking about a “special congress” being formed in Croker this weekend to discuss the matter like it’s the fucking conclave, this entire discussion is completely ridiculous and reads like a Father Ted episode. Not even mentioning that dozens of other women’s sports teams already wear shorts, or that skorts are called skorts because they, in fact, are literally shorts to begin with.

    36. oldgit82 on

      I have never seen such a drama about somthing so trivial especially with everything going on in the world and this country

    37. PresidentBearCub on

      Heaven forbid women play sport without fear of their coochie on display
