The 30-year-old athlete said he felt ‘vindicated’ after reaching a reported $8 million settlement with Rugby Australia over his sacking.
Mr Kenny said Rugby Australia should have “just ignored it or scoffed at it” when the rugby star published a post which said gay people among others were going to hell. “Rugby Australia have decided to make it a gigantic woke stand and it’s been painful to watch,” he said. “They’ve wrecked rugby’s reputation and destroyed Folau’s career. “No good has come out of this for anyone, no person has benefited except perhaps some highly paid lawyers.
It's not just Rugby Australia, all sporting bodies are run on the same basis.
Yes. That would have been the better option.
They should have simply said 'those are his views, not the views of the ARU' and we could have all moved on
Castles could not resist......has cost her her job by using Rugby as her own personal platform. Stupid, cruel and expensive thing to do.
Kenny calls australia rugby woke, for pushing back on the ravings of a religious nut job who claims gays caused the drought & the bushfires. Kenny isnt the full quid. Lucky hes got a gig at that sheltered workshop skynews.
Chris Kenny can insert his opinion where the sun doesn't shine. The sooner we get these self opinionated religious nutters out of public life the better. Keep religion where it belongs, in church. The same could be said about the penticostal pissant in our parliament as well.
Chris Kenny is right in saying that.
Rugby Australia should make Alan Joyce pay half of it hahaha ... Good job Folau.
What a surprise that the anti-minority Murdoch press believes anti-LGBTI vilification, dressed as ‘religion’, has a place in Australian sport.
h_appleby I find it amazing the uproar by the media about freedom of speech being taken away, yet telecast and condemn the hell out of Folau?
Chris Kenny has more cheek than a plastic surgeons waiting room👺👺👺
Maybe he can piss off to another country so we don’t have to hear about him again
How can raelenecastle justify being paid 830K a year... and she wants to hang around for another 4 years. Act now Rugby lovers to force her out... billandboz
Should have just trained their squad to pass and catch the ball 🏉
The adulteraters and fornicators never even cared!!! Hilarious / go woke go broke
What might Izzy make of the idea of 'turning the other cheek'? Would he see this as the road to perdition too?
Any organisation that gets woke always suffers financial loss!!
The left are at war with Christians and free speech, it will lead to so much censorship that society will not be able to function at all. They have already crossed the line and world wars have been fought for a lot less.
Turn a blind eye to sponsors walking away, is he that stupid that he doesn't understand the bad look. How many times can you turn the other cheek. Chris Kenny is a fool.
😂 magic man in the sky. What a dunce.
Why Chris Kenny doesn't
raelenecastle calculated she couldn’t afford the huge embarrassment of IzzyFolau calling his ex Polynesian team mates and Qantas boss Alan Joyce to testify. Would’ve been a media circus. So she cut him a cheque for $8m. She’s on borrowed time
no they did the right thing.. he broke their code of conduct and he'd already had a prior warning... he was supposed to be representing Australia
And so should have everyone...
So Chris thinks it is OK to just ignore comments that vilify certain sections of the community and run foul of the RA policy of inclusion. Perhaps it's time that he woke up!
He got paid so he won. RA had to pay without receiving a service from their best player, they lost!
h_appleby Good old Sky news, know it all as usual...
Who would to invest in RA after the way the CEO and the board have operated with their mantra of inclusiveness
He’s the religious nut, he should have when they sacked him!
If only Folau hadn’t sent that tweet, we wouldn’t have known how much of a insane belter he is. We don’t care for his opinion so don’t ram it down our throats.
The ARU got caught out and have paid a heavy price knowing that going to court would expose them 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Qantas probably told them no more, their CEO took offence
Ahh, but they couldn't do that could they because 'woke' sports people are bought the by Marxist Globalists. Just look at how certain sports stars genuflect at Communist China but attack America. For Marxism to succeed, Christians must be attacked.
But the crowd involved against Folau is terribly vindictive
AStrongerOZ IF says gays r going to Hell.Jesus said Matthew 19.24' easier for a camel to pass thru the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God'Looks like IF will be catching up with his gay mates. Unless he goes broke. Just my religious freedom to say.
The adulterers, drunks and atheists turned the other cheek. But it was just too much for the perpetually offended LGBT community to take.
💯 agree. It would have been forgotten about within days. It’s RA and the media’s fault for blowing this up.
Yes, in the same way Chris likes dogs to do in his presence.
Maybe they now deserve a swift kick in the other cheeks.🦶🏻
Israel did not create an 'inflammatory' post on SM, he was just conveying what the Bible says about sin! Homosexuality, murder; & theft among other immoral behaviors, is a sin. This concept is clearly indicated in the bible. The whole RA issue is blown WAY out of proportion.
This is old footage of the “UNBIASED” socialist law professor who is testifying at today’s impeachment hearing into Trump . The star witness in the attempted coup of the Trump presidency by the leftys & the fake news media . Archives are very underrated aren’t they.🇺🇸🇺🇸
Bottom line Folau made a lot of money & that's what it was all about.
🤣🤣🤣
Funny. That's what I do when word bile comes out of Chris's mouth hole
No shit
Massive crossover between Sky News fans and Sky Fairy fans, turns out
Can't turn cheek to financial outcome from said comments-being a CEO isn't a religous position. Does it work against image of the game said corporate is trying to promote? A strategy designed to increase profit?
If he is having issues with his own sexuality he needs to deal with it and stop hiding behind his religion as a way to self-hate through proxy

Rugby Australia refute 'wildly inaccurate' Folau payoutRugby Australia CEO Raelene Castle has dismissed claims that Israel Folau was given $8 million as part of the settlement. 9WWOS Rugby Folau most believe it was $8 If Castle said that the 8 million dollar figures is “wildly inaccurate” then I would suggest she has breached the confidentiality and Folau should have the right to confirm or deny her premise. He looks to have an $8M smile
