It saddens me and my family to see how the coverage of this story has played out," he posted."I want to make it clear that I love ALL people regardless of race, religion, gender or sexuality.

Love Geelong and Ablett is a Genius But his OPINION means Zip.

Who cares what any of these sportsman think..... really !

We live in an age where footballers send 'Easter messages' 🙄

Repent to the thought police Garry - repeat 500 times gender is fluid and it’s transphobic to not love a trans women’s girl dick , and maybe you can have a life after your thought maybe.

Notice where it's all going down NZ terror attack, in France Church's burning down, Folau and his recitement of the bible referred to as a hell message but is really a message of love. All Rugby Union nations and herein lies the link. You can't fool us.

Kaepernick did much worse he lives in the USA the country that gave him EVERYTHING, this is how he showed his gratitude yet he was celebrated the left, MSM and NIKE made him a hero. HYPOCRITES

Why are you telling us his gossip? Not news.

Bad Gary better not commit any more thought crimes and probably should repent by having gay sex with a preferably non- white trans vegan

Why do people listen to what footballers have to say? They play a sport to entertain us, not to be beacons of social, moral or theological information. I’m perplexed!

Ablett embroiled in Folau scandalGeelong champion Gary Ablett and Carlton midfielder Matt Kennedy have been embroiled in the Instagram scandal that is set to end Israel Folau’s rugby career as Wallabies coach Michael Cheika and captain Michael Hooper weighed in on the furore. No he hasnt thats you guys .. that trolls their accounts that are making this into a big deal. Move on. 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. 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 😕

Israel Folau to challenge breach notice over controversial social media postWallabies star Israel Folau indicates he won't accept a breach notice from Rugby Australia over a controversial social media post saying gay people were destined for hell. It's an interesting precedent set forward not only by the ARU, but also the NRL that homosexuality trumps religious freedom ... Thought he was just going to walk away! How can a sports person be held in higher regard of a parliamentarian. Politicians have said worse. Politicians should also be sacked. I disagree with Israel Folau but he said under religious beliefs

Israel Folau committed 'high-level breach': Rugby AustraliaRugby Australia Integrity Unit says Israel Folau 'committed a high-level breach of the Professional Players' Code of Conduct warranting termination of his employment contract.' Freedom of religion is a fundamental right won after countless wars and the deaths of many millions. It is enshrined in our Constitution. How dare QANTAS use its commercial muscle to abrogate this right. And how dare Rugby Australia agree to cooperate in this disgrace. For holding a personal opinion shared on his personal social media that had zero relation to his sports team. Blokes a pellet. But his job is to be good at sport and win. He does that extremely well. Shouldnt be fired.. RealMarkLatham pointed to this phenomenon in 2017, now where the relentless hunt for Folau is coming from

'My faith comes first': Israel Folau prepared to accept rugby fateIsrael Folau says his faith comes before sport and he will walk away without a fight if Rugby Australia tears up his contract. I have no qualms about Falou having a religious faith but he just needs to keep it to himself and not continue with his Christiann Arrogance. Why get upset over man saying we’re going to an imaginary place that doesn’t exist but we live complacently with nasty people in public life with real influence over our lives.Folau is indoctrinated,I feel sorry for his captivity. Now if he was say an antivaxxer,I’d be pissed off That’s what IzzyFolau said last time, so there appears to be no problem.

Rugby Australia only has itself to blame for Israel Folau crisisThe governing body has brought this situation on itself, by re-signing the deeply religious star to a long-term deal. paulcullystuff The only mistake rugbycomau has made of IzzyFolau is to believe the shibboleth that their players must represent core values 24/7. Suppose a player started promoting One Nation and got censored. What then? paulcullystuff They do have something to be thankful for! Luckily he’s not an Islamic extremist or a white supremacist paulcullystuff A man who believes in the 72 virgins in paradise said homosexuals should be killed. His reward was a private dinner with the then PM. Another man who believes in the hereafter said homosexuals will go to hell. He lost his career.😔

Israel Folau to challenge Rugby Australia’s decision to sack himBREAKING Israel Folau has opted to contest his breach notice from Rugby Australia over his controversial social media posts Good! So he should. We either have employers at the mercy of freedom of religion or we have religion conform to workplace standards across the boards and only operate in personal time. No exceptions or exemptions. This sordid mess of two-way bullying has to stop once and for all! So the barking-mad TheIPA, Bespoke’s raddled RWNJ elders & Pastor Shouty’s office have rounded up a sponsor prepared to fund a challenge by this little tree-biting Christian twatt right through to the High Court? Unwinnable election19 special huh Shouts🧢? Bring it on buddy 🧐 IzzyFolau should call his god to attend and confirm that all gays and other sinners are indeed damned to hell.

Big blunder in Israel Folau’s $4m dealRugby Australia bungled its contract negotiations with Israel Folau by failing to insert social media restraints, according to a report. Doesn't condone what he has said does it journo kids. If Folau were saying that 'women', 'jews', 'blacks', 'Asians', 'disabled people', basically any other minority group were all going to hell, nobody would question the fact that he's an arsehole. Gays are fair game. Says a lot about society. Pay him out

Israel Folau may have to wait for crunch hearingA slew of public holidays in the next week means Israel Folau faces a wait if the Wallabies star opts for a code of conduct hearing rather than accept termination of his contract. So if you don't attend Mardi Gras is that considered homophobic? Hope the Rugby has a footy float planned with glitter balls When you get a warning from your employer that you need to conform to their policies it’s best to do so or find another employer. He should have known. Yes he is entitled to his view, regardless of how abhorrent, but he also need to understand the terms of his contract.
