At today's prices people will make up their own minds, and rightly so . I can see the argument for supporting these games although I thought , looking at the games on TV yesterday, there looked to be great support in Kilkenny.Lidl currently heavily advertising for people to go to the ladies games. Saying we need to eliminate inequality and fill every seat. It's a bit of a stretch argument. People can make up there own mind what they want to pay money to see.
I think the first step to eliminating inequality would be to cease all references to "ladies' games", which by the way is only football as females or women if you prefer, play camogie, and hurling is currently a male-only game.Lidl currently heavily advertising for people to go to the ladies games.

It should be the women's league within an overall GAA structure. We don't call men who play GAA gentlemen so why call women who play it ladies?Why would you drop the reference to ladies ? It's a different game with different rules ..how else can we distinguish it. It was the ladies who came up up the term LGFA.
I agree completely. It's a great example of an accusation of discrimination or sexism where none exists.My original point is that Lidl are creating a marketing stance on an allegation of inequality that does not exist ..nobody is prevented from going to Lgfa games.
I'm sure Tracy Kennedy who until recently was chairperson of the Cork County Board would be surprised to hear that, esepcially as she is now a member of the Gaa Governing Body, a body which requires 40% female membership under Govt rules for grant aid. I'm also sure the chairperson of my own club would be very surprised to hear that she is not a member of that club.Only males can be members of the GAA, which rents facilities and grounds to the "Ladies' Association" and the camogie association.
In 1974.The Lgfa decided how they wanted to be named themselves.
It's certainly not a big deal but it is anachronistic. I think Tennis and Golf still use Ladies in their prefix but most sports use Women's.our local team refer to themselves as ladies in all their media, no one is calling for it to be dropped.
Surely the camogie players have something to say about that... That seems like a slap in the face to camogie in Cork , at least. ....I wonder if it the same in Galway considering they played the football final was last week also..Let’s not argue about some ladies association making a few bob from Lidl. Camogie and Ladies Gaelic Football will always play second fiddle to hurling and Gaelic football. Take Cork for instance whose hurlers participated in the recent All Ireland Hurling Final. The city and county was decorated nearly everywhere in Red and White. Cork Camogie team will play Galway in the Camogie All Ireland Final in a few days and Guess What? Most of the Red and White colours have already been removed from the Cork houses. Guess Whar again, the colours were removed mainly by Cork women. Thank You Lidl and long May you support Women’s Sport.
They'll have to make sure they slap Hurling in the face as well or they'll be accused of gender based violence.That seems like a slap in the face to camogie in Cork , at least.
Are you implying only women do the shopping..Those that attend de cricket aren't Lidl's target market!
Exactly. Just what they need right now is some random old man on the internet telling them what they should find offensiveThe Lgfa decided how they wanted to be named themselves. our local team refer to themselves as ladies in all their media, no one is calling for it to be dropped.
