He was sacked for expressing his religious beliefs in a manner that did not affect anything on the field at all. For the record, as a Christian myself I don’t think he was right to do what he did but I think that he should have the right to say it if that’s what he believes. In the end who gets to decide what speech is allowed and what isn’t?
As 40% of the population voted against gay marriage there is a sizeable proportion of people who at least share some of his views out there. Those people who share his views should be able to see themselves and their views represented in society just as those who don’t should.
Lies and blatantly unfair: Folau slams Rugby Australia
Fair point on the Pocock stuff, I couldn’t remember him getting a warning.

This is an absolute disgrace. Rugby would claim to be an “inclusive game” but apparently this doesn’t extend to including people with different beliefs to Rugby Australia. Of course they will accept Christian players as long as their Christianity is nice and sanitised and not offending anyone; toeing the party line.
David Pocock is allowed to break the law and chain himself to a tree with zero consequence while Folau can’t quote the Bible? I hope he wins the case, bankrupts Rugby Australia and they’re forced to start again with some sensible people in charge that can handle being disagreed with.

Agreed on your point-Chris Rogers also wore the neck guards.
Never forget, cricket's a dangerous game
6 batsmen….Are they worthy of the term now?

To be fair, Essendon have been quite good defensively (and terrible at attack) this season.

Johnson at 7…..I don’t think our batting is the problem here.
The Liebke Ratings: Third Ashes Test
He called Australia Day “Invasion Day”. I wouldn’t boo him unless he was lining up a shot at goal, but I can see why people would.
BREAKING: Adam Goodes ruled out of Crows game, given extended leave
I don’t think many would like Putin as their leader…Could be wrong though, if anyone does feel free to speak up!
Months later, Blatter is still the president of FIFA
If he’s guilty he deserves punishment, but if no-well, not everyone who’s charged is guilty.
Shaun Kenny-Dowall charged with domestic violence
Innocent until proven guilty….I’m happy for the courts to decide this one. Remember Brett Stewart?
Shaun Kenny-Dowall charged with domestic violence
“The chances of these clubs not winning any of their respective league competitions in the foreseeable future are slim to none and to compete with one another on the continental and subsequent global stage they need things to change.”
Liverpool or Arsenal are likely to win the league? No domestic league is “easy” to win (maybe Bayern-liga), and particularly not the EPL!
League of extraordinary gentleman: Elite to form breakaway comp
Sheek, as a fifteen year old, I still love Test cricket, as do many mates. Unfortunately, it is almost irrelevant in terms of crowds outside Australia and England, and is only heading downhill.
The Sheffield Shield by no other name smells much sweeter
Love your last line-“The Reds will go again.” Not sure if that’s a Gerrard reference or not, but it sounds a lot like his “don’t let it slip” speech.
Liverpool must capitalise on Sterling exit
I think theot must be referring to another Anderson. Surely not the 2009-10 one that was sacked far too early?
Brad Arthur coaches junior footy, but would you be a referee?
I’ve always hoped that Watson would get a big score or two, win us a game, take a five wicket haul. I used to be a fan but now I’ve moved to the Watson out camp. There must not be many left in his camp now…
Sorry Shane Watson, but you are a liability
The lbw law is great! Those cheating English…
The Liebke Ratings: England vs Australia first Test (Part 2)
Starc’s no mug with the bat either. I could see him as a bowling allrounder down the track. Then again, all of our tail can bat, even down to Lyon/Hazelwood at 11.
An Ashes series draw is coming, mark my words
Why shouldn’t they be allowed Olympic? Although it is slightly hypocritical when Croatian ethnic teams can’t use their own names, but let them all if they want to!
There’s mystery and history in the FFA Cup round of 32
Very sad to hear, my thoughts are with his wife.
Crows coach Phil Walsh found dead, son charged with murder
He’s basically acting like any 20 year old who became a celebrity overnight and is still getting used to it would.
How dare you say that, Nick Kyrgios
If an employer fired someone for saying they believed gay people should be allowed to get married back when the debate was going on I’m sure there would be outrage from the same people smashing Folau.
