    Izzy might not shoot up gatherings of people but he is an extremist.

    Thankfully most aren't.

    My ex in laws are Christians and absolutely abhor Tamaki and his bullshit, I'm seeing them this weekend for my sons birthday so will be sure to get their views on Izzy which I'm imagining will be much the same.

    @NTA yeah thats what it sounds like, he wants out...if not back to NRL, back to AFL?

    Not sure if he could cope with an end of season NRL or AFL Mad Monday

    Most of the people he has targeted wouldn't believe in the concept of heaven and hell anyway. At the end of the day he is just a rugby player with some dumb ideas, should we really care? I could possibly qualify for HELL under his guidelines but I am not going to change my lifestyle any time soon.

    If that's their policy then they should never have signed him.

    I would think they added a clause in his contract to deal with this type of behaviour.

    We may be about to find out what that clause entailed.

    from what I have been hearing in media, he certainly did have a clause around his social media...which makes you think one of two things:
    1 he is incredibly stupid
    2 he is incredibly stupid to use this as a way to get out of his current contract

    I'd be more inclined to think #1 than #2. He's literally just signed a new contract, and has never appeared to want out of Australian rugby. Coming into a World Cup with no other options... it would be strange timing if that's his aim.

    I just think he's a simpleton who has surrounded himself with morons.

    It's not like he can blame that tweet on being drunk.

    1. Folau is a twat.
    2. Even now, there are still way too many who think being LGBTQ is a lifestyle. For some, coming out is fine. For others, it's violence and ostracism, some have been killed over it. It can often depend where you live, the beliefs of family/friends etc. Religious fuckwits have caused immeasurable harm to LGBTQ people. Words matter. They fester in hearts and minds, and sometimes provoke action.

    It's fine for those who are utterly unaffected to say oh he's just being a piston wristed gibbon, ignore, but it's a bit different when you are in the LGBTQ community and get the slurs and discrimination etc from religious fuckfaces on a regular basis.

    He married one as well, as did his wife.

    Izzy might have gotten more sympathy if he included Vegans and Hipsters on his list.

    I guess it leads to the question of whether it's OK to hire someone with appalling views so long as they don't express them. Folau made it quite clear how he felt last year. Knowing that, should the ARU have resigned him even if he promised not to express those views?

    @rotated bravo. Time to acknowledge dumb talk but more importantly promote people to be anti- fragile. I believe that's the new vernacular.

    Can't stop people talking crap, can show people why it's not so dangerous, unless you want to let it get to you

    Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard

    Hipsters are OK with the beard part, I think, but not sure where man-buns come under 'round(ing) the corners of your heads...'
