The Wallabies star faces the prospect of his $4 million contact being terminated over the comments.
A decision isn't expected to be made until next week at the earliest, with tomorrow set aside for the hearing, in case talks boil over.
Well ,I guess we will just have to censer the bible. If you dont believe what he is saying ,and I dont, thats ok, but he has the right to express what he believes . His intention is not malicious . He dosent deserve to be crucified.
So what is the issue, his comments about gays, adulters, or both.
The selective Christian!!!!!
So if I was to take a quote from the bible and post it on social media...would I be suspended? Why? It's not 'hate' speech it's his belief. Just like many other religions, who is it that decides which one should be banned? IstandwithFolau
ARU should be put on trial for trying to control the personal opinions of Izzy Folau;You cannot regulate a persons morality, these are choices each of us make;WHY are citizens NOT allowed to judge the morality of the Pompous Assholes who think they can judge our personal opinions
ByeFelicia
Qantas' Joyce and RA, are not only attacking Folau, they've attacked every Christian and their freedom to speak Gods Word publicly and freely. Joyce, RA will fail. Don't touch Christ and His Church. You will fail. We're praying, read Acts Chapter 2. Anti Christ fails.
The contracts and sponsors need to be changed- simple
If Folau is axed I will NEVER watch the Wallabies again.
Are all the preachers who quote those same lines regularly from the bible going to face a conduct hearing - Are all those religious zealots from other religions who behead and stone gay folk going to be condemned also - or are you being hypocritical as usual

Legal hurdles on both sides: the Folau 'free speech' case explainedAs rugby star Israel Folau fights for both his career and his religious convictions this weekend, a senior lecturer in employment law lays out the arguments. Tell these PC morons to piss-off. Your religion is you right and free speech and opinion is is not to be controlled by these Muslims that have infiltrated our countries with their barbaric ways. Given that ScottMorrisonMP holds exactly the same beliefs as IzzyFolau and refused to vote on the same sex marriage legislation this should prove interesting Wonder how many actually sympathise with Israel vs how many embrace the political correct ideology of gender driven feminist journalists, politicians and inner city elites?

Folau’s forced others into ‘bad position’As rugby superstar Israel Folau’s fate gets decided today, the fallout from his social media antics still runs deep. It is a disgrace that he has been treated like this - im not saying i agree with his comments but he is allowed his opinion and freedom of speech is more important then 'not hurting peoples feelings' our society is oging backwards Hardenup heiswrongbutheisalllowed2be He has done nothing wrong, if he is penalised then God help the rest of us....whatever happened to independence and individualism? When people put their FINGER TOWARD THE SKY it's proof that God isn't really INDWELLING them .. the Muslims do it too .. and 'God - Jesus' doesn't INDWELL them either .. Amen?..

'Might as well sack me': Israel Folau firestorm takes a dramatic twistRugby Australia is facing a potential Polynesian player mutiny after one of the Wallabies' most exciting prospects claimed all Pacific Islanders 'might as well just be sacked' because of their religious beliefs. A man who believes in the 72 virgins in paradise said all gays should be killed now. His reward was a private dinner with the then PM. Another man who believes in the hereafter & preaches love said gays and other sinners will go to hell if they don’t repent. He lost his career.😔 It is time the walked out on the weak livered RA and the gutless players who don’t support a fellow player who has done nothing wrong. 👍✌❤

Folau breaks down during church sermon | Sky News AustraliaWallabies fullback Israel Folau has broken down while delivering a sermon about being asked to compromise values. \n\nFolau will face a Rugby Australia code of conduct hearing on Saturday as he fights to keep his $4 million contract.\n\nThe sermon, reportedly from Easter Sunday, references a bible verse where three men stood up for their beliefs under the threat of death. \n\n\n\n\n\n Does he know that tattoos are looked down on by the Bible? Working on the sabbath? No one is asking him to compromise his values. More to keep social media activity in check. Wake me up when Folau breaks down over the abuse, the corruption, the lies, the cover-ups in his church. The damage that christianity has caused in our islands - I just can't.

Silencing Folau with queer fascism betrays our gay marriage victorySilencing sports superstar Israel Folau with queer fascism betrays our gay marriage victory, writes gay activist and marriage equality advocate Dawn Grace-Cohen . The penny’s beginning to drop, isn’t it? What if his name was Muhammad Folau... secondzeit ......and I'd have to agree. Israel Folau used his employment as a platform to preach to the unwashed.

The big problem with Folau reaction'I do think he deserves another chance... People say offensive things all the time.' 👀 9WWOS camjwilliams camjwilliams Well said Cameron.👏🏼 The cynic in me believes that if Israel has left out “Homosexuals”, there wouldn’t be this furore. As a Hindu I am one of those going to hell. But I am not offended because it is Israel’s belief. Reality is everyone has beliefs & are entitled to them. camjwilliams Perhaps the whole thing should go to court? There are protections in the constitution? camjwilliams The problem Cam is this isn't his first offence and he has been warned before. Many employees in other jobs have social media policies and code of conduct they have to abide by or face the sack. This is no different.

I couldn't care less what Folau says, but the impact it has is undeniableOf all the words written and said about Folau in recent weeks, I find a friend's Facebook comment to be the saddest. SMHsport he is a bit like ISevangelist blabbing on social media on other people lifestyle Is he a new messiah? SMHsport It’s ok for you to have your opinion but not ok for him to have one...pathetic SMHsport Impact is negligible. News cycle moves quickly. The only fatality will likely be his rugby career
