	Irish Hurling -- A True Amateur Game
		Hurling is an outdoor ball-and-stick game played with fifteen players on a field larger than a soccer pitch.
		Hurling players can catch and carry the ball in the hand, but can only pass it by hitting it with the stick, kicking it, or slapping it by the hand.
		Hurling is a great game, not just because it is a great game by itself, but because it seems to illustrate the best of Irish culture -- its folksy character, its work-hard and play-hard virtues, and its community-based values.
