Escalating the Folau case further into court was 'not helping the game' | Sky News Australia

Folau said he was vindicated after reaching a reported $8 million settlement with Rugby Australia following his sacking over controversial social media posts. The governing body and Folau both issued statements of apology on Wednesday, but there was no indication he would be allowed to return to the sport.

The rugby CEO said she had to “make a decision that was right for rugby in this country and we made the right decision by calling out Israel on his posts and his inappropriate messaging”. “That remains the same… we stick to our vales that inclusiveness is absolutely core to the key of rugby,” Ms Castle told reporters on Thursday. “Taking this conversation further into a court situation was not helping the game.

That's what happens when an inept CEO, panders to sponsor, on matters not related to the sport.

The fortunes of organisations led by women.

they're free of him now and don't have to reinstate him, so a win for all involved

Ummmm......no

Dumb as rocks RA 😂😂 bet it cost you millions ..IStandwithizzy

Keep on spinning RA however you can't spin your way out of this Folau had his way with you and now you are paying the price. Do yourself a favour and get a donut cushion, it will ease the pain when sitting down👍

Their 'case' would have fallen over in court and they'd have been hit with punitive damages that would bankrupt them.

Now get rid of Rayleeeene and Qantas and RA might have a small chance of surviving this mess.
