Rubbish wankery story

News, just trying to muck rake and sell more papers, just another day really.

lil master, more like lil homphobe

Good on you Folau for leaving it in God's hands. If your employer opposes your beliefs, so be it. IzzyFolau

Just the human nature of scared children. Anything that doesn't appeal to their ideology is a threat, they pretend to be righteous, but really they are just forcing their misguided beliefs, which shows their fear of those not like them.

I knew Ablett was deeply religious but didn’t realise he was an arsehole too. Unliked or not, the fact he hit ‘like’ on that piece of hate speech in the first place says it all really 😕

One can only wonder where these sports dig up these 'single sided make hormone filled morons from'. Suppose they support women bashing, sexual assault, drunken boys nights but will cry when they get depressed. Meat heads just fits these types of males. No they are boys not men.

No he hasnt thats you guys .. that trolls their accounts that are making this into a big deal. Move on.

Until Israel Folau repents, Rugby Australia has no choice but to let him goAll of the dynamics that applied last year – outrage in the rugby and wider community, sponsors looking at tearing up their contracts – apply this year, but there is one difference. Peter_Fitz The Australian Constitution guarantees freedom of religion as does anti discrimination legislation in all States/Territories. It is not the place of the national rugby code to be policing anyone's freedom to express their religious views. End. Of. Story. Peter_Fitz Can Rugby Australia overrule common law? Peter_Fitz For what LOSERS! I'm glad at the Christian hate and intolerance to personal beliefs. His post listed many SINS but you single this out. Christians are always persecuted. Well go love you ISLAM! Hypocrites!!!

'Don't be influenced': Union stars lead criticism of Folau over anti-gay commentsIsrael Folau's rugby future is in doubt following his latest online comments warning homosexuals and other sinners they are destined for hell, and now rugby union figures have let their views be known via social media. Does it need to be said that being good at running and kicking and catching does not mean that you're smart, or have opinions worth listening to? Folau quoted the Bible. Are you seeking to ban the Bible? True Christians are fed up with the anti-Christian bigotry of the main stream media and are speaking out against the evil which God hates and Folau is lovingly warning people. If you don't hate evil then you are evil! So he is a bible basher with his own view of things. Hasn't hurt anyone. Everybody just chill out pfft.🙄

That is what he believe, and that his right. Just leave him to be a good rugby player. They're stuck between a rock and a hard place. If they fire him because of his religious beliefs he'll take them to court. So what? Do you feel offended? That means you believe what he says.. Do I have to feel offended by what he said? Because 😅😅😅 u don't want to know what was happened in me life hahahaha definitely a sinner...
