In this main episode of the Not So Christian Brothers, Colm Hayes and Justin Caffrey dive into the impact of commercial money on modern sport. The team examines how corporate ownership, rising ticket prices, and international investment are shifting fan culture across major leagues.
The conversation moves to Irish sport as Colm shares his personal take on Croke Park hosting pre-season games for English clubs, comparing historical traditions with commercial decisions. Justin and Terry Tech also look at the rise in popularity of the League of Ireland and how local match days are evolving.
To open the show, Colm shares a strange haircut encounter that leads to a debate on barbers, small talk, and social boundaries.
