Best Answer

The GAA encouraged people to play Gaelic Football and Hurling, Ireland's two main sports, and some other sports. They did not encourage people to play other sports such as soccer and Rugby, because they were seen as foreign sports. The rules that banned people playing these other sports was removed in 1971.
