Come in runner, come in runner...

I was wondering why these fools who think mother earth is killing people because we burn coal are allowed to play football, perform as sluts at half time of football matches and fly the globe preaching to others. To many double standards for me.

The # 1 prerequisite to have an interest in football is mindlessness so, whatever emanates from there follows the branches of that mentality !

For a start Folau did not get a payout of $8 Million, he had his contract paid out. His claim was not about football, it was about his right to express his beliefs in his private space. But in fact a violent act was shown to him and his wife, by denying them their freedom.

Joe,

It was leaked to the papers recently that the payout was $8m based not only on the cancellation of the contract, but the blanket ban on Folau working anywhere else in Aus.

Dear Shadow Minister,

You really can't let this go can you. Folau was not paid anywhere near 8 million and your link does not even mention a figure.

Folau also apologised to Rugby Australia, forewent any reinstatement, and also forewent any chance of playing for a club in Australia (which is something I didn't agree with incidentally).

His legal team cost about $400,000 but Folau raised over 2 million mainly from conservative Christians for his legal fees. Do you know where that money has ended up?

His new club in France, the Catalans Dragons, have him on a contract far tighter than what he had with Rugby Australia and Folau has given a firm undertaking not to repeat his actions. Other clubs in the super league over there, led by Hull KR have put the Dragons on notice that they will sue if the signing costs them financially. News just in the Catalans Dragons have cancelled the public unveiling of their new signing. Both the Rugby Football League and the Super League over there have labelled Folau's comments as deplorable and will be keeping him on a very short leash.

And you are somehow polishing this turd into a win? Good luck with that old chum. Ain't going to happen. Time to move on.
