Male inter-county players have rowed in behind the stance taken by their ladies football and camogie county counterparts in an open letter to the GAA.
Last month, female inter-county players voiced their frustration at the failure of the GAA, Ladies Gaelic Football Association and the Camogie Association to form a ‘Charter for Minimum Standards of Player Welfare’, saying that they would play under protest for the remainder of the 2023 Championship.
That has taken the form of players sitting down on the field ahead of the throw-in, while last weekend players left the field for a period after the national anthem, with the protests set to continue in some form in the coming weeks.
