Folau - Higgins/Lehrmann P193

Folau must get on the drink. That's the only explanation I can think of At first I thought he just wanted out of his contract and that's the sober explanation but now it turns out he doesn't so he's got to be a drunk. Straight to hell for you, Israel.

As an atheist, I could not care less if a Bible bashing moron thinks I'm going to his imaginary bad place. Ooh, scary. But as a fornicating drunk atheist I wonder, why is the homo part of his rant the only part that's considered to be a problem?

We don’t get much Izzy over here. Well, not since he embarrassed himself in the AFL that is. Is he as dumb as he seems all by himself, or is he having his strings pulled by some fundie megachchurch on a recruitment drive?

There is a video Judge, where he says that anyone who celebrates Christmas and easter are heathens, and that anyone who covets wealth and material goods are also going to visit the big guy down stairs.

Apparently he is a minister in really extreme sect of that Christianity group of followers.

The hypocrisy of someone going from football code to football code and seemingly just for the pay cheque and all the perks (travelling the world with the Wallabies), must not register on his moral and ethical compass.

Strange about that

Thank goodness there is no one here stupid enough to be arguing the free speech line with this one because of course it has nothing to do with free speech and everything to do with breaching the terms of a contract and the resulting penalty for doing so.

He is entitled to his opinion and entitled to broadcast it to the world UNLESS he has signed a contract agreeing not to. Rugby Australia has made the decision that they want their business to be inclusive of all people because they will be able to attract more dollars. Therefore they do not want their employees publicly expressing opinions that divide and discriminate. That’s why these types of clauses are in player and coach contracts. Standard employment code of conduct issue. Every job contract has them.

I think he thought he would waltz back into the NRL, Cowboys had all thAt Val Holmes cash.. Nrl said noway and then he wanted back in rugby

So if you want to play Rugby in Australia your not allowed to express your religious beliefs ? Rugby Australia should not bend over for the Corporate sponsorship if that sort of restriction is put on players. By the way, how is Folau being divisive ? He's prepared to play alongside the ones he derides - the drunks, the adulterers, the fornicators, the homosexuals. He is the one being sidelined & discriminated against by RA ( & that little Irish Qantas twat that no one can stand)

It's a very simple commercial transaction.

True - so it is RA rolling over for the dollar. Why should someone wanting to play Rugby not be able to express their religious thoughts ? - just because RA don't rate "religous expression" highly its not Folaus fault

Of course it’s about the dollar. That’s how business operates.

This is a standard employment code of conduct issue. Has nothing to do with freedom of speech. There are behavioural requirements in every workplace and if you breach them you face consequences. In the case of Israel Falau he is going to lose his job as he has already been warned. This is stance Rugby Australia has taken. Some people like you may be turned off and that is fine but I’m willing to bet more people will be applauding them.
