@siam
hate crimes
Cool.
Here's one from the Home Office in Britain showing who gets targeted most for hate crimes in Britain. Stats supplied by the home office.And, we're talking about hate crimes, or tattle telling. My point is what's the difference between a gay and a straight, and why is that so important in deciding individual virtue?
I think you should ask Folau, he has a strong opinon on that. And no, I don't think straight people, gay people, fornicators or drunks should be taken straight to hell, especially if the booze there is expensive.

My Asian wife thinks you are the devil incarnate!
(No she doesn't. Like 99.9% of Asians she doesn't give a flying fuck about round eyes being outraged on her behalf. In fact she calls you "Bone" - they all have trouble pluralising words with an s at the end 😉)

Fuck that made me laugh.
But just so you know, that's not the only reason...

Nah he can fuck right off.
It's one thing to sue the ARU, but now a community sport organisation?
I'm not sure what he's trying to achieve. By taking this legal action he's probably hammered the final nail into the coffin that is his career in Australia. Which club would want to sign him now? You'd worry you'd end up in the High Court the moment someone mixed up his coffee order.
And being backed by Clive Palmer only makes things worse. Who wants to associate themselves with that fat chunt?
Park the court case for a second, do you think he should be banned from playing rugby/rugby league in Australia forever?

This really is the question
I understand why the ARUs initial instinct to want to cut his central contract (but like many of their recent financial decisions they obviously cut their nose off to spite their face). But if this club wants the PR who cares? What is the principle here?
If someone says people born in the month of April are going to hell is that enough to banish them from professional sports forever?
I hope the Pakistani cricket team aren't given a morals exam on their next tour.

No. I'm a bit surprised at the NRL's approach, given the standard they have set on behaviour in the past.
I guess he's seen as too much of a risk, not so much from the social media side, more from his litigious streak. NRL must be worried he'd say/do something that would breach a code of conduct and they would end up in court arguing religious freedom as the ARU did before them.
I can see why they would want no part in that. And his actions with the QRL have probably only made them more certain they made the right call.

i dont think he should be banned for life or anything...but i also dont think any clu/organisation should be forced to sign him. He's copped his punishment for what he did...but i dont blame anyone wanting to avoid being involved in his next drama

After seeing how he dealt with the ARU, could you blame anyone for being cagey?

His main belief that I disagree with is that he believes he has the right to act like a cock.
To top it off he keeps coming back for more with no concept of when to keep his beliefs to himself. -

Depends on your definition of freedom.
