“So, Folau will basically say, ‘Well, you say you’re not sacking me for my religion, sacking me for expressing it.’ Without Folau, who is the top try scorer in the Super Rugby competition, fly half Bernard Foley was forced to step up to the plate.

Rugby Australia must share blame for Folau messRugby union player Israel Folau’s posts about homosexuals on social media fall in the grey zone between protecting free speech and fighting bigotry. Homophobia isn’t a mess, it’s a mental disease. And it’s borne of Evangelical zealotry and bigotry. I ho he he takes the Rugby League Australia to the cleaners. Who are they to control free speech in our country. Tell them to piss-off and play with their football. 'RA has every reason to be concerned that Mr Folau’s comments set a bad example for young players and will cost it advertising revenue and ticket sales.' Did it impact these thing last year?

Folau to challenge breach notice | Sky News AustraliaIsreal Folau will challenge the breach notice handed to him from Rugby Australia after it attempted to terminate his contract over controversial comments made on social media. \n\nThe hearing will likely go ahead later this month in front of a panel of three, with the tribunal hearing evidence from the CEO of Rugby Australia and Folau himself. \n\nThe star rugby player was issued with a high-level breach of the Professional Players’ Code of Conduct by the Rugby Australia Integrity Unit after publishing anti-gay comments online. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n chriskkenny chriskkenny Freedom of speech does not equate to freedom from consequence. Like racial vilification, sexist speech, or ableist speech; you can say it, but you don't get immunity from prosecution just because you believe in sky ghosts. Honestly, Kenny if you had a brain you'd be dangerous. chriskkenny You’re absolutely right

Folau? Much Ado About NothingIf it were possible for Shakespeare to write about Wallabies player Israel Folau and his latest social media hullabaloo, then surely it would have to be titled Much Ado About Nothing II. According to a message he posted on Instagram last week, drunks, homosexuals, adulterers, liars, fornicators, thieves, atheists and idolaters can expect to go to hell unless they repent. In other words, around 99.5 per cent of the population. Oz_Mocker Spot on, sad lives require outrage and indignation to survive though, a lynch mobbing also seems to get people feeling good about themselves 🤪 Oz_Mocker I can't believe you expect people to pay to read this sort of thing. Oz_Mocker Folau's sincerity trumps their duplicity many times over

Rugby's case against Folau is a legal and moral minefieldThe attempt to sack the rugby international is fraught, writes a former NSW Supreme Court judge. He is hoping to get paid out millions...now that is immoral He is safe, Showbag FitzSimons said he must go so that is that. Home It isn’t. Steer clear of the religious flimflam, it’s not relevant. He signed a contract and broke it. The end
