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 Posted by Belly, Friday, 12 April 2019 6:32:51 PM

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. Posted by Foxy, Friday, 12 April 2019 6:50:11 PM

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.

Dear Graham,
"Some good questions, and if you read this post and agree with Hasbeen you might be interested in signing this petition https://www.change.org/p/rugby-australia-don-t-discriminate-against-israel-folau Posted by GrahamY, Friday, 12 April 2019 2:35:35 PM" http://www.change.org/p/rugby-australia-don-t-discriminate-against-israel-fol 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!!). Posted by Is Mise, Friday, 12 April 2019 9:32:46 PM
