Said what he had to say, privately, on social media didn't he? What has it got to do with some tin football league? Nothing!

Hasbeens description of the game and its players is a little of target
They call it the game they play in heaven
Its players largely, are the sons of cow cockys and the high paid legal profession union students too even university has teams
Tweed Jackets, elbows with the usual leather patch
However while not thugs, they play even in to their late thirties even early forties, it is a hard game but not as fast as the other rugby game
Nothing however change this point, if we are not free to say some things in time we will not be free to say anything

Dear Belly,

There's surely enough hatred in this world
without further name calling, demonisation,
or the deliberate causing of offense and hurt
to other people. Surely we are civilised
enough to simply pull our heads in and
not condemn those that look and behave
differently to ourselves - all under the guise
of our "religious beliefs."

It reminds me of my early Catholic school-days
when Sister Mary Virgilius had us all convinced
that sex was bad (for one hour's pleasure we
would end up in hell). As somebody asked -
"Sister how do you make it last an hour?"

We were told that Protestants would never go to
heaven until they converted to Catholicism.
And the list went on.

So much for the teachings of supposedly holy
people.

cont'd ...

Dear Belly,

By signing and accepting the $4 million that
Israel Folau did, part of the contract was
not putting anything on social media that may potentially
offend.

12 months ago he was hauled in and told, "Please
do not do that again, and he agreed to. He resigned
and then 12 months later has done so again.

Rugby Australia, has shown a bit of leadership
and decided that under their own codes this is not
acceptable behaviour.

Rugby Australia and the NSW Rugby Union have made
repeated attempts to contact Israel both directly
and via his reps since 6.30pm Wednesday and at this
point he has failed to communicate directly with
either organisation.

There you go, Graham, fixed it for you.

Getting rid of the "s" is an OLO thing (Oh!! How I have waited for this moment!!).
