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

    Yeah if he had of said men with man buns are going to burn in Hell I probably would have bought a tahds jersey this weekend.

    As mentioned above
    Leviticus 19:27
    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...'

    Someone elsewhere pointed this out - if RA sanction Folau, it won't be for the content of the post as such, it will be because they instructed him not to do something which he then did.

    Putting to one side whether you think they should have given him that directive in the first place, the fact is they did. And he disobeyed that instruction in a very public manner.

    So he needs to face some consequence for that.

    He also signed up to the inclusion policy, post of which I quoted above. That's been around since 2014. He's breaking his terms of service, bye bye

    "“These comments are really disappointing and clearly don’t reflect the spirit of inclusion and diversity that we support,” a Qantas statement said. “We are pleased to see Rugby Australia’s condemnation of the comments and will await the outcome of their review.”

    Chose a homophobe who can jump or Qantas $, Raelene

    @Kirwan Not comfortable with restricting free speech at all, even stupid drivel like this

    I am grateful to live in a free society with religious freedoms, press freedoms and very little censorship. But there are obligations on employees to uphold the values of the organisations they work for and abide by their contractual arrangements.

    Folau posted from social media accounts that identify him as a Wallaby and an Rugby Australia employee. Their content and tone go against the code of conduct that he signed. No one is taking away his democratic rights to have his own opinions and to practise his religion as long as it doesn't harm anyone else, but as an employee there are consequences to communications that are totally at odds with the values and aims of his employers who remunerate him very well indeed.

    Shocking picture of Israel Foolau cavorting and getting intimate with a gay supporting man who loves his corner damaged beard, rounded haircut, wicked ink, and the many fabric types he wears at once

    GT became one of my favourite players the moment he took over the Lions captaincy from BOD in 05. Always admired his play.

    Classy tweet that.

    Excuse my French, but Qantas can go fuck themselves. They entered into a vital partnership with the airline of a country where homosexuality is illegal. The Qantas CEO would be arrested for kissing his boyfriend in public. What happened to their commitment to inclusion and diversity? Hypocritical tossers. Same goes for AR. They're so committed to inclusion and gay rights yet their poster boy is a guy who is on record as saying gay people will go to hell. And they pay him a million plus bucks a year. Ironically the only person being consistent in their position is Folau.
