    Behind the video :
    Hurling has been around for over 3000 years so we thought it was about time we shared it with our American friends. We brought a hurl and sliotar to the streets of Dublin and asked Americans to try a few basic hurling moves.

    As an American, my first experience with Hurling was at a pub, in Killarney, on St. Patrick's, having my first 'technically' legal pint (was 18, which would be illegal over here). It was one of the most spectacular things I had ever seen during an already amazing experience.

      Padraig is the irish gaelic for patrick for instance la le padraig is saint patricks day both are correct .but in different languages.You would not say saint padraigs day or la le patrick because the grammar would be wrong in both languages.Patrick was not irish and lived before the english language existed so neither is really right or long.When he came to ireland there was no p in gaelic so his name was pronounced by the locals with k sound rather than p

    I did a bit of research, and there is in fact a little bit of semi-organized hurling being played at US colleges. It's very amateur stuff though, mostly kids with no previous experience just doing it for fun. Men and women play on the same team. Nevertheless, a hurling team from Montana was willing to travel to New York to win a national tournament (about the same distance as Ireland to Greece), so the players must really like the sport.

I have played every major American sport and there is nothing that compares to the passion and skill both players and the fans have for the game!

    Was this filmed at st James gate in Dublin? The tracks in the street look like the ones outside of st James gate. For anyone that doesn't know, st James gate is the big black gate that goes into the Guinness factory in Dublin

    I play camogie/hurling and it gets kind of annoying when people compare it to other sports it's 3000 yrs old but still they were really good for beginners
