Foxy you did not represent your library when you went home from work.

Why do you think this bloke is representing a football code when he goes home.

If they are worried about their reputation, they would be a dams sight better advised to chuck out the drunken louts, & the women abusers, rather than a bloke who may be a noisy Christian. I am not a Christian, but respect him for having the courage of his beliefs.

If they had minded their own business, football, I would never have been aware of Folau's post. Now they have come in with a heavy hand they have guaranteed that Rugby will never be on my TV or radio. I hope their advertisers realise this, Quants excepted of course.

I wonder how much of this has come from Qantas? I won't be flying with them either, as it is probable they had a hand in this.

Dear Hassie,

Folau is famous and popular and therefore his
views do come with consequences. He also does
represent a commercial entity - as I stated
earlier, and he is influential to younger fans.
Hence Rugby Australia were concerned about their
image and policy of "inclusion."

Anyway, not to downplay the impact this may have -
but honestly as someone wrote on the web - putting
things into perspective:

" Seriously, people getting upset by someone
they don't really know, saying they're going to a
place they don't believe in because of words in
a book written so long ago they haven't read,
by a mixture of people who are no longer around.
Absurd - right?

Chances are you wouldn't be upset by somebody saying
you would end up on Santa's naughty list for loving
another man and or woman.
Try to give this as much credence as you would that."

cont'd ...

BTW: I was always very conscious of what I said
in public inside and outside the libraries I
worked in. I never risked saying anything that
would have placed the library system that I worked
for at the time - in an unfavourable light.

and the number of rugby players still on the field after sexually assaulting women, cheating on their women, peeing in public places, having group sex, not fathering their children. Oh just don't mention Christ unless it is to curse!

runner,

This may help get rid of your hatred:
