The thing is they are right, the dual player has had its day due to the increased professionalism and increased demands of the games. Its just physically impossible to play both hurling and football at the highest level.

It's not correct that football counties will always pressure inter-county players to drop hurling- in Mayo Keith Higgins and Michael Conroy also hurl for the county.

You can't expect a 15,16 year old 2 choose between 2 sports he loves that's the problem with soccer their focused on fully commiting their players 2 soccer

Very different eras. Teddy was the last of the great dual players. He wouldn’t be able to do it now in the far more intense environment that is inter county hurling and football

all of those players that you listed aren't modern players. I'm just using this as an example, but look at what Podge Collins would have to be playing in if he still played county in both codes- Football: The All-Ireland Championship, The National Football league, McGrath Cup, Clare Senior Football Championship Hurling: The All-Ireland Championship, The National Hurling Leauge, Waterford Crystal Cup, Munster Hurling League, The Boston Fenway classic (if Clare are in it, in which case he'd have to fly to America), Clare Senior hurling championship if that isn't a lot to keep up with, I don't know what is. Plus in both codes you're going to have to put up with crushing defeats, injuries and disappointments. Your form is in constant state of danger if you play both codes.
