Israel Folau set for rugby league comeback

Folau isn't paid an award rate. He is a high paid individual. He sells his profile to teams/organisations. You cannot sell that as his value, and then say he is a private person. It's not a private social media accounting. You can have a private instagram account. He has a publicly verified account, meaning he has contacted instagram to confirm he is Israel Folau, the professional rugby union player which is referrenced in his profile. It's hilarious you say people in a limited wage structure like the armed forces is a 24/7 job. But a professional athlete who negotiates well above award rates (about 15-20 times under the RUPA CBA) does not have 24/7 responsibilities for how they represent their employer. Hardly surprising from somebody who only popped up here after this Folau business came up.

You couldn't be more wrong. Folau isn't a member of the armed forces who are paid 24/7 and are held accountable for their actions at any time. He, like yourself, is a private individual with a contract.....just like you. He is entitled to a private life and to have opinions contrary to his employer....as are you and every other private individual. Your employer pays you to do a job and that is all they can sack you for. If Folau said his piece at a post match broadcast, his employer would be well within their rights. But he said his piece on his private social media account, in his own time, without referencing his employer. He has been victimised and for the simple reason you disagree with his opinion, you support his victimisation.

Is that because he is a homophobic twat that nobody else will employ him? Move on mick, he's just a disgruntled ex employee that got caught out. No one cares. Let him run his myopic church and you fund him

Nah all the fakaleitis are gonna belt him if he goes there. Besides that he doesn't know where tonga is

Yes, that would be the only possible way to interpret my comment.

I'm sorry Offside but that reasoning is absolutely absurd. It is clear that the claim for $10 mil is an ambit claim. Let's look at the facts objectively: 1. The total value of his contract is $5.7 million. Izzy would have to prove that not only has he been prevented from earn this money (of which he has already been paid $1.4 mill) and that he has been prevented from taking up another contract (of a value of at least $4.3 mil) once this contract was due to expire in 2023 (when he is 34). That is simply ridiculous to argue. 2. A court will not award substantial damages in the case of speculative pure economic loss based of Izzy's opportunity cost. He would have to prove his actual loss based on his termination which would be the amount remaining unpaid on his contract. 3. The NRL and the ARLC are complete separate to RA. They have said Izzy fails their inclusion model. That has nothing to do with RA and everything to do with what Izzy did. The NRL and ARLC have the autonomy what they think is best for their game. After breaching his contract with RA in the exact way he said he wouldn't he has painted himself out to be untrustworthy. I'm not surprised if he can't even get a phone plan or gym membership the way he has carried on.

Still; you're ok with killing all the men, women and children

Political donations have to be disclosed. People act different when others are watching.

Didn't look that way on the telly

You must be new Code of conduct is freely available and forms part of the contract It's only been said 1.8 million times

This site has republished his instagram post several times; the editors are clearly indifferent to the sensitivities of gay rugby fans

Please post his contract for us

Apparently they offered the authorities an inspection.

Transgender wasn't a thing in Biblical times. The only way you got a "sex change" was by being made into a eunch. The operation involved a couple of stones. There were men who were described as "effeminate" and the Bible spells out the consequences for them. It's similar to what it says about drunks, thieves, adulterer's, liars and homosexuals. I'm not aware of his transgender post. I don't follow his instagram account and I missed the media coverage of it. Which was the way anyone found out about any of his posts.

Isn't that what happened anyway? The world moves on, these Izzy articles get fewer and fewer comments, and he'll have to work hard to keep himself from being forgotten.

I'm guessing it had more to do with the stockpiling of guns and abuse than their beliefs

Last thing Tonga need is running scared Folau in defence. They could used Folau to go after a few bombs and score tries that way but its no use if your giving away heaps more points.

And you double downed on the straw man. You know he didn’t say that. No doubt what he did actually say was dumb, but the virtue signallers exaggerating it into something it isn’t is as bad or worse
