Planet Earth's fastest field game. Originated in Ireland and is over 2000 years old - it shows up in ancient Irish legends. Slightly similar to Field Hockey but played mostly in the air rather than just on the ground. Players can catch the ball, run it for a few steps, or run unlimited steps with the ball balanced on the end of the stick. The target is a set of H-posts like in Rugby but with a net on the bottom section like in Soccer. You get one point for putting the ball over the bar (known as a point) and three for putting it in the net (known as a goal). Physical contact is allowed. Helmets are optional.

A traditional Irish game played with a stick(hurley) and ball(sliotar).
Carey sent the sliotar right to the back of the net!

Something Genji mains constantly spam regardless of their actual health. Even if they are 199 out of 200 health and next to a health pack they will spam this voice line until a healer comes over.
Genji: I need healing
Mercy in voice chat: I have a Roadhog at 100 health I will heal you in a second. Plus there is a health pack right next to you.

rough Irish sport that involves a stick and ball. You beat the ball and other players with the stick. Fouls are rarely called, and much blood is shed on the field.
George went to play hurling so he could beat some guy with a wooden stick, and play a damn fine sport at the same time.
