Better people make Better All Blacks...or do they?

Israel Folau has some of the strongest moral values going around. As it happens, that's a major problem.
What teams need are people who are able to get along together, and who stay out of trouble. Strong moral values can easily get in the way of the first.

Twenty-five years ago, his values would have been considered admirable by most people. They would still be the values of a major number of his team-mates.
As it happens I disagree with Folau. But I don't think he is immoral for believing what he believes. And he has the courage of his convictions, which is more than most Facebook warriors have.
Edit: if you think that being moral is believing what everyone else believes, and going with the majority, then you have the sort of morals that I can do without. For me being moral is having the strength of conviction that some things are right, and some are wrong, and being popular has nothing to do with that decision. That's why being moral is difficult. You will upset people.

ABs could swap out the black jersey for a rainbow; the fern for a pink triangle; the haka for twerking; and academia and media would still be upset that trans-genders are under-represented. Extreme...? You ain’t seen nuthin’ yet.

That's their whole agenda
There is no end to the insanity these psychotic degenerates peddle
But as Obama wisely noted, this ends up being a circular firing squad
They destroy their own - Love it

I saw a great quote, can't remember who from now - maybe the great Thomas Sowell? - that was along the lines of "diversity is not our strength, it is our ability to overcome the problems inherit with diversity and come together as one that is our strength".

Bollocks, maybe 100 years ago.
Care to back that up with something, anything really?

25 years ago? Don’t even have to go back 25 seconds ago. Google “World’s Fastest Growing Religion”.

@Salacious-Crumb No thanks.

Yes, they crossed a line when they infiltrated Top Gear.
