Rugby Australia ‘has sold out its fans’ and Folau’s free speech | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Andrew Bolt says Rugby Australia has ‘sold out its fans’ and Israel Folau’s free speech in serving Folau a breach notice after a recent Instagram post. \n\nThe football player posted on his Instagram account, condemning ‘drunks, homosexuals, adulterers, liars, fornicators, thieves, atheists and idolaters’. \n\nMr Bolt says while he does not like what Folau posted, he should be able to express ‘his very conservative Christian beliefs’. \n\n\n He expressed them, and he’s now paying the price for expressing them. He chose to share them, to violate the agreement he had and now he’s suffering the consequences of his choices. I demand that he be sacked for saying that we drunks will go to Hell! this is outrageous! Could always just play rugby
