Rugby Union Australia have just Sacked Rugby Union star Folau for anti Gay comments and other derogatory comments.. Is this the road to go down or is he being harshly treated for his beliefs.. Should this be brought into sport over here .. ?

Presumably they'll also be banning the bible?

Re: Rugby Australia
He's already had one warning for his social media posts and the sponsors in Australia threatened to walk away over those. Sports stars should simply stay off social media but if they do then they should treat it as though they are doing a live interview. I have no sympathy for him at all.

Re: Rugby Australia
No sympathy. We cant stop anyone having different views on how we all should live our life. But he is obviously trying to provoke reactions. If you have nothing nice to say dont say anything

Re: Rugby Australia
Is he stupid or posting p1st? Beliefs are beliefs but after the severe warning he received last time it’s a strange thing to do. There goes a career.

Another clown living his life controlled by words from a book of fables.
People really should grow out of religious books by about the age of 7

Re: Rugby Australia
He can believe whatever he likes but posting these aggressive views is career suicide.
Quantas is a major rugby sponsor in Oz & that company's Chief Exec is openly gay so Rugby Australia have little alternative (I'm not saying that it's purely a commercial decision as rugby has striven harder than, say, football to be seen as "all inclusive").
Folau is a fantastic athlete but seems to have nil discretion/common sense.
