Rugby Australia 'lost on every front' over Folau settlement | Sky News Australia

Writer Corrine Barraclough says Rugby Australia have "lost on every front" following the agreed settlement with former Wallaby Israel Folau.

Mr Folau was chasing $14 million in compensation, but the dollar figure of the out-of-court settlement is not known. Rugby Australia "have lost freedom of speech, they've lost financially," Ms Barraclough told Sky News host Peta Credlin. "They've lost credibility and they've lost a really good player".

Just another way for religious freaks to suck money out of people and organizations. No surprises here.

Agree, they should of taken it all the way and squashed the disgrace of a human being. I mean begs for donations when he has multi investment properties, drives around in posh cars etc and earned millions. If his God is real he will be smited

RA didn’t get rid of a vexatious bigot at all! Raelene Castle is still there!!!

Damned if they do damned to the🔥🔥 fires of hell 🔥🔥 if they don’t. RugbyAustralia Folau IzzyNuts?

So he gets the settlement, AND the ridiculous amount of money people donated to his defence? I hope he's planning on living his values and donating the money raised to a worthy cause. I won't hold my breath.

Reporters are saying this was handled badly by ARU, but offer no suggestions on how it could have been differently.

Rugby Australia should never had settled with Folau, Folau breached the rules of his contract and disgraced the sport with his hate filled attacks and blaming gay's for the fires we have all over Australia.

And Folau’s alleged hubris, lack of sensitivity for others different to him, and greed, haven’t offended many people?

Falou has won a lot of money. For believing in a literal hell and lecturing to those he believes will end up there! Rugby is intact and will survive long after the brain-washed daddy’s boy has been forgotten.

Good

If he had ever gone down with injury, there’s 💰💰💸💸💸💸💸

Israel lost his job, his credibility, his fans, his status, his sponsors, his team mates. RA will move on sign and develop new players, and attract more inclusive sponsors. Who lost again?

Who the hell is Connie Barraclough?

Ok boomer 😂 RA got rid of a vexatious bigot employee for an undisclosed sum that was surely cheaper than going to court and with no admission of liability. Folau trashed his own reputation, principles and career for a quick buck below asking price. LOSER.

Who is Corrine Barraclough?

raelenecastle has to step down. She's left a wake of a mess in other sports codes... time to go.

Is that called appeasing or drop kick?

This doesn't compute with what got him, rightly, sacked. “Mr Folau wants all Australians to know that he does not condone discrimination of any kind against any person on the grounds of their sexuality .........'

I’d have a smile 2 if I got 8 million 🤭

'Painful to watch' Rugby Australia's 'woke stand' against Folau | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says Rugby Australia should have just turned the other cheek when Israel Folau published an inflammatory post on social media. \n\nThe 30-year-old athlete said he felt ‘vindicated’ after reaching a reported $8 million settlement with Rugby Australia over his sacking. \n\nMr 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. \n\n“Rugby Australia have decided to make it a gigantic woke stand and it’s been painful to watch,” he said. \n\n“They’ve wrecked rugby’s reputation and destroyed Folau’s career. \n\n“No good has come out of this for anyone, no person has benefited except perhaps some highly paid lawyers.” \n\nImage: Getty 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 Can't turn cheek to financial outcome from said comments-being a CEO isn't a religous position.
