Like LEGO, we have all seen some appalling behaviour from football players, including several times where I have seen a team arrive at a bar and they seemed to go out of their way to get into a fight. Occasionally people can die from that type of stupidity. I understand why gay people are sick of being picked on, but surely a post on twitter isn't that big of a deal.

yep group sex, spewing all over the place, bashing women is all forgiveable but don't quote the book of 'fairytales'. This woman from rugby is lost in her own hypocrisy.

Well I tend to agree with Foxy: agreements need to be kept.

One weak point in Foxy's argument is to consider this agreement as an "employment contract", that is because employer/employee relations in Australia are restricted by all sorts of draconic laws. Nevertheless, an agreement has been freely made by both sides, both adult and sane, so it should be kept, even if it cannot be counted as an "employment contract"... ? ?

? ? or perhaps not... actually I am not sure, because here one side is not a sane adult, but an incorporated company! Government ought to have no say on the contents of agreements between sane-adult individuals, but if one chooses to incorporate with them, thus gain certain financial/tax privileges, then surely the government/state can pose some conditions in return!

Unlike individuals, incorporated companies are supposed to exist for one reason: to make money. Whether their products/services are ethical is immaterial, only the bottom line, their profit. Their only restriction is that they must play by the rules of the legal game.

Here we have a case of an unethical company which makes money from wasting people's time, preying on their weaknesses to make them pay for spending chunks of their precious lives passively watching others running around a ball. It can be argued that demanding their players to not speak about certain things can be construed as a purely commercial strategy, lest by speaking about those things, audiences may become upset or disillusioned and stop wasting their time and money with the company, thus harming its business model.

Enough time spent on this issue, time which could be better spent on study, prayer and meditation.
