Americans are brilliant at celebrating their own perceived exceptionalism and nothing says American exceptionalism quite like Mount Rushmore, the massive monument in South Dakota that features the massive faces of Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson and Roosevelt chiseled into hard stone.
As part of Cork Week this week on Balls.ie, we'll be holding a public vote each day to determine which Cork athletes belong on a hypothetical Cork Mount Rushmore. There are so many outstanding Cork athletes to choose from that Cork might require a few Mount Rushmores.
The voting will break down as follows:
Monday: Soccer
Tuesday: Rugby
Wednesday: GAA
Thursday: Other Sports
Come Friday, we will unveil a Cork Mount Rushmore that will be representative of the greatness of Cork sport. Then we'll just need a mountain for it.
