The Manly Warringah Sea Eagles rugby club has stood firm on its decision to wear rainbow-themed jerseys for its clash against the Sydney Roosters on Thursday, despite seven of its players boycotting the match over the matter.
“Sadly, the execution of what was intended to be extremely important was poor. There was little consultation or collaboration with key stakeholders, both inside and outside the club. Sadly, this poor management and project management has caused significant confusion, discomfort and pain,” Mr Hasler said.“We wish to apologise to our own playing group and staff for any confusion, discomfort and pain we may have caused them. We accept your cultural beliefs, and hope that you can accept our apology.
Addressing the pride jersey boycott, Australian Rugby League Commission chairman Peter V’landys said he respects the decision of the seven players while adding he was open to the idea of launching a pride round as soon as next year.
As 007 said: Why is it people who can’t take advice always insist on giving it?
And to Folau?

Three Manly Sea Eagles players to reconsider pride jersey stanceSeven Manly Sea Eagles players intended to sit out of selection for Thursday's important game against the Roosters but three are said to be reconsidering due to a 'change of heart'. Yet Pointsbet does more harm to communities. You mean “due to harassment” When we had pride month at work I got really exhausted having sex with all the other guys. Then my supervisor told me it wasn't compulsory. Maybe someone needs to let these guys know too. It gets confusing.

Manly Sea Eagles apologises for 'significant mistake' with pride jerseyManly Sea Eagles has confirmed all seven stars who pulled out from selection for this week's game against the Roosters will not play this week as the coach blamed the club for the 'confusion' and 'pain' it caused the players and LGBTQI community. They should apologise for ramming homosexuality down everyone's throat. Sick I will watch with interest the very same players announce their retirements based on the fact that anything …ANYTHING lgbtq constitutes them compromising their religious beliefs & as such they cannot .. CANNOT in good conscience play with gay players either massive Hypocrisy Oh no, this is a clash of virtues for the left !!

'Significant mistakes': Manly coach apologises, acknowledges pride jersey execution was 'poor'Des Hasler said he is concerned for the welfare of the seven rugby league players who stood down from Thursday's match because they do not want to wear the pride jersey, due to religious and cultural reasons. Why are you forcing players to wear pride jerseys? Not wanting to wear a pride jersey does not make someone homophobic. These players are not forcing anyone to wear religious clothing. It's disgusting, exclusive and bullying what you are doing. You can see that came from the heart. Reading off script I see. No one can answer what is a women. Protect children from indoctrination. Protect women's rights. Allows mental illness to mutilate their bodies. Use puberty blockers in children. Open uncensored sex acts in front of children. Activists against white masculine heterosexual men.

Gal rips Manly over forgotten victims of jersey sagaPaul Gallen has delivered a passionate message amid Manly's pride jersey fiasco in the lead-up to its clash with the Roosters. 9WWOS No one should be forced to wear someone else's flag or colours. It's tokenistic and could be done better. This form of tolerance is completely ignorant of multicultural and religious differences. BetootaAdvocate could simply just copy and paste this article 😂 I remember another time and place where a football player was targetted for taking a stand on this subject.

‘We’re committed to the jersey’: Manly owner won’t change rainbow jumperScott Penn understands players have been put in a tough position but insists the Sea Eagles will wear the jersey while Peter V’landys says the game ‘respects everyone’. app85 Good. Seems those same religious objectors have no issues with other player choices so why this one ? app85 Bad look for the team, the board just assumed the players would wear it to promote their politics without question. Wrong! app85 Sheer hypocrisy: u ask many gays who been victims of “lslanders bashing “ one lives next a park many incidents , unreported of gay bashings, and verbal abuse by so called Christian Pacific Islanders on a regular basis ,DON’T be fooled , since allowing them in, got worse
