       Well done Joe Marler! Folau clearly doesn’t take Australian
       Rugby Union previous telling off seriously, a year to the day he
       previously was warned. Disgusting behaviour, I hope Australian
       Rugby deals with him appropriately. He knows full well young
       kids who idolise rugby players will see what he puts on his
       social media, very foolish of him. What a 🛎 🔚

       He was quoting from the Bible...
       Why is he not allowed to hold views that are not right on. I
       happen to disagree with much of the right on ultra PC nonsense
       that is spouted. It offends me when they post their nonsense.

       I have to say I agree.  I do not agree with one word he said but
       there again he does not have to agree with my views.  Liberals
       are all very liberal as long as everyone agrees with them and
       their opinion and world view.  As soon as anyone has a different
       opinion then liberals say they should not be allowed to express
       or even think it.  How very liberal of them.
       Like you I am equally offended by the PC nonsense and the way
       everyone is offended by everything and thinks that the only thin
       g that matters is their own point of view.

       Erm. He says gay people are going to burn in hell.
       If you think it's just not "right on" to hate people because of
       where they stick their bits, you probably need to take a breath.
       Harlequins would also probably rather you changed your mind
       since they are vocal in their support for Stonewall and the
       Rainbow Laces charity.
       Ultra PC it's not. Attitudes like his contribute to people
       killing themselves if they struggle with their sexuality.
       Reporter for an Australian paper has just tweeted that Folau is
       being sacked by Rugby Australia as we speak.

       It’s all very well calling it “PC Nonsense” but that doesn’t
       engage with the real issue.  We have a situation where people
       have been discriminated against, punished, bullied, because of
       their sexuality.  In some countries it is still a crime.  Try
       being on the end of some of that and then you’ll see how “PC
       Nonsense” it is?  As a person of influence he needs to learn to
       keep his mouth shut with his backwards views and understand the
       impact these views have on behaviour.  School kids idolise these
       figures and they should realise how toxic and unhelpful their
       views are.  Ban him, I say.

       He's allowed to *hold* whatever views he wants. The issue is
       that he repeatedly tweets negative things about a minority group
       who have historically been persecuted. If society allows people
       with a public profile to say these things, then it normalises
       them, and makes it OK for other people to say them or act on
       them.
       Everyone is entitled to their religious beliefs - but they
       aren't entitled to infringe other people's rights because of
       those beliefs.

       But, what bit of the bible is he quoting though?
       If looks a bit like the part from the letter from St Paul to the
       Corinthians - but St Paul doesn't tell them that they are going
       to Hell.
       So, it must be from Revelations - but that doesn't have the same
       list of sinners.
       I actually think that he just found some mad ramblings on a
       social network and re-posted them.  Remember, it was George
       Washington that warned about re-posting random stuff that you
       find on social media.  As a result, I do think that he deserves
       criticism.

       Anyway, well done Joe. A proper rugby response from a properly
       good bloke.

       So do you hate gay people? That's what this is about.
       Grow up and stop pretending that there's a world where it's
       oppressive to be told that it's no long acceptable to hate gay
       people or black people or the disabled.
       That's all this is about - it's not about you pretending that
       you're being held back from "thinking what you like".
       You're almost certainly old enough to remember "no blacks, no
       Irish" signs and "Paki" being shouted as people who happened to
       be brown were beaten up on the street.
       Thankfully we decided as a country that rather than be a place
       where people are stoned to death or imprisoned because they
       happen to prefer a penis to a vagina, we didn't really care.
