Sports Letter: Gaelic groan
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: Further to the recent letters on this page, I too would like to add my voice to those bemoaning the lack of coverage on national TV of the excellent and exciting game that is Australian Rules Football.
However, I would like to point out its poor coverage of another equally exciting game much closer to home, and the game from which Australian Rules originated, namely Gaelic Football. This game, which is of interest to a significant proportion of the population, is, by and large, completely ignored by the media apart from Channel Four.
Yours, BRIAN McHALE London W2 20 October
