Interesting new take...
I'd love to see all the polynesians in NZ stand up and show some balls like these aussie based Polynesian boys...
Alas... I think them and their hijab wearing PM I dont think they have the gall.
and.... Raylene Castle - seriously... the original kiwi Gothic scared of the light vampire women running the show... what else do rugby australia expect...
Lost support and respect of the majority of rugby community in this country...
The thing is rugby is fickle in this country at best... Waratah supporter interest has dropped hugely as without the Super Rugby's RECORD try scorer they and the Wallabies have no chance.
NBA / Rugby League / Soccer will all be the big winners...
The fact the Reds' players even feel they need to apologise for their beliefs is a disgrace in itself...
For the record - Izzy would have mentioned the scripture not out of hate - its not his personality - it was some kind of imbalanced 30yo zealotry...
Rugby Australia do not have the $3m to pay out his contract, it's for that reason they decided to keep Cheika even though he was a cheap burn at $1m.
I am delighted to see the Polynesian standing up for Folau.
He'll be encouraged to see that he's not facing this on his own ... that there are people like Vunipola and many others cheering him on.
I bet Australian Rugby thought this would be over quickly. They've opened up Pandora's box and there's no shutting it again.
They've bowed to the faggot running the show at Quantas ... and people like Foley and Hooper will have alienated many a fan because of their stance on buggery.
Great to see that there are still folk out there with morals.
Fills one with a little hope.
New rules of Australian rugby will stipulate every team must have 2 professing pooftahs 's in it.
Pooftas?
Haaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahaha!!
Polynesians have not been brainwashed to accept the whole LGBT BS. Great they stand up against all thi s globalist drivel.
See that female objection to men participating in their sports is growing and they are winning. To hell with all this perversion being forced down our throats. Thank goodness someone like Hussein Obummer isn't president and forcing females to accept male pervs in their bathrooms. The tide is turning!
Well ... we know that you've taken lying and idiocy to new found highs ... so trying to explain it to you would be pointless ... even a dumbed version would be a little tough for you to grasp, Stupid.
Tell me something ... when you read, do you mouth out the words loudly?
Just curious.

You talk of the following in your comments:-
"They do not have modern-day democratic values - because they can't understand why Folau's extensive list of sinners isolates most of the honest population.Sharktwit is possibly a Muslim posing as an atheist?
He hates Christianity and would love to ban it. He is after all an anti democratic bigot of note and a very silly billy who cannot be taken seriously.
Go Folau give them the Good Message.
I do not think what you wrote has anything to do with "democratic values" but rather in denigrating millions of people that obviously do not agree with your viewpoints. Lets get to real "democratic values". The way you put is democratic values are only the right and privilege of atheists?
That sums it up nicely Mike. His infantile selfish views are however shared by an increasing number of people these days.
The craziest thing about the whole saga is:
Folau = clean living athlete that is a true role model on and off the field. Makes social media comment that is para-phrased scripture - maybe NIV or some other translation. Yes it perhaps comes across a little imbalanced... but... he really hasn't done anything that wrong... except in the eyes of goth woman Raylene (AB double agent) and Alan (Irish) - good way to knock the Wallabies in a WC year...
VS
Multiple players in this code and others that have been CHARGED with serious and criminal offences ranging from illicit drug use, to domestic violence, drink driving and other common assault charges... but to name a few... dont even get me started on the rugby league players... and yet RL closed the door to Folau already too.
This could well be the nail RA coffin... well managed Raylene an you please go job hunting now to another code I dont care about.
SharkShit ... I'm not sure why I'm engaging you on this subject as you've proven yourself totally ignorant. You reason like a 5 year old ... like my gardener does. In fact ... is you name Philemon?
Interesting post, Red.
They had no right to insist on it and now it's escalated into something they have no control over.
Fired? ... I don't think so. It's what they'd like to see happen. He hasn't backed off though ... in fact he's picking up a lot of support from all over the place, so we'll see whether he's suspension results in dismissal.
Of course arseholes like you would rejoice to see him ousted ... and yes, he is being prsecuted for his beliefs.
Try to wake up, will you!!
Not one Christian can answer what they would do, think or say if a person from another religion did exactly the same thing.
It is obvious that Christian happy clappies would be in an uproar - and would certainly not respect these other religions right to freedom of speech.
For athiests, it is an insult regardless of the person's religion. (Christian, Muslim, Jew, Garden gnome, Easter Bunny, piece of wood, Baal)
Well, if Folau has so much support from fellow international Christian rugby players...... why don't they all just do exactly what he did as a Christian and post the same stuff on social media and deal with the consequences afterwards....
Show some solidarity...… as fellow Christians
After all, they are then all putting their collective fate in the hands of their God, so all should be good
What could go wrong...….

Redsman, I think the key point that you're leaving out intentionally (or else don't even realise), is that Folau was rapped over the knuckles by Rugby Australia the last time he used social media to push his anti-gay agenda and he was warned in no uncertain terms not to do it again.

Horse manure! Boy you are full of it! TRO LL....You live to offend and are probably the biggest hypocrite on site. Your ilk that lead to communism and will probably destroy western civilization.

No - it would amount to not applying undemocratic principles applicable in civilized and free countries, There may be cases where extreme views are expressed on site, but that is not what happened here.
A man expressed on internet his won feelings about issues - he threatened nobody with any form of harm whatsoever. He is a hero of many people and that may cause other people to follow his example, but that is not a real deduction.
What happened here is going ballistic about something that most people would have ignored or forgotten about within a week, Their stupid response has turned the situation in serious division in rugby circles in Australia and is not acceptable
Whoosh! SB and Super Whoosh Saffex.
I guess not many fellow Christian rugby players would put their own fate in their gods hands right now, and fully support Folau, especially given that they could also lose their multi-million dollar contracts....
Funny how and when people decide to be fully Christian
Imagine if every Christian rugby player around the world refused to play for his club or his country until Folau was allowed back on the field...… a boycott of world proportions.....
It would send a direct and clear message to all the nations around the world..... "Fuck you all, I can have freedom of speech to post whatever and whenever I want to"
It will never happen though.… because money is too important ...… not religion
SB and Saffex want to live again in the Sodom and Gomorrah lifestyle,they speak of going forward but in fact they want to go backwards.
There can't be too many more brain washed halfwits like sharktwit. Unless of course he is a homosexual, a distinct possibility, how else can any normal guy be such a strong homosexual supporter.
Sharktwit disgusts me. Besides being brainwashed he is abysmally ignorant. Thus he has become a clown of note almost rivaling rooijackass!!!

Why do you try and write about history - a subject of which you know bugger-all) First of all let me explain where your BS went off the rails. You missed the point totally as per normal.
Constantine when he came emperor he moved the capital where he settled for the rest of his life. After his death the western area became gradually more independent and there was effectively a Western and Eastern Empire.
Towards the end of the 4th century the Barbarians started to move into wat was France - the previous inhabitants were the Gauls, the vandals attacked Rome and move to Spain, the Lombards settled in what is today northern Italy, the Huns in Southern Germany, Austria and Hungary.
The attacks ad ZERO to do with Christianity or any religion at all - it was the result of migrants moving into what was then the Westen Roman Empire and beat the Western Roman empire until Rome was sacked by them. It was obvious that the State was \weakened because of problems with political leadership and laying the blame for decline of the Western Roman Empire at the door of Christianity is total BS.
European Civilization was maintained in the Eastern Roman Empire until its capture in 1452 and the Eastern Orthodox Church eventually found new leadership in Russia. Where it took its level of civilization and commence with the civilization of Russia as a state. The Russians in fact took the brunt of the attacks by the Goldern Hoard originating in Mongolia and saved that what is today from the carnage associated with the Golden Hoard, The great Russian Grand Princes of Moscow who led the Russians against the Hoard was deeply religious and most of them are still regarded as Saints of the Russian Orthodox Church. In that case it was the Church who in fact saved Western Europe from total devastation.
Until the Barbarians settled and develop new permanent political structures for a period of mor or else two hundred years - the only learned people were attached to the Roman Catholic Church. The Church gradually branched out into what is today Western Europe and assisted in the maintenance of academic learning and maintenance of invaluable records from the time of the Roman Empire.
By the end of the eighth century the Vikings devastated large parts of Northern Europe and England. It was in fact the Christian King Alfred the Great who saved what was then Mercia and Wessex from the takeover of England by the Danes and another Christian leader Charkes Martel to defend France against Muslim domination.
I wonder who gave you that twisted history myth you preached above - without relifgion Europe would not developed in what it is today.
As to the Boers you are totally ignorant as well. When Kruger was President he declared hat irrespective of race Christians are equal = but the English would never countenance that,
Brainwashing is not applicable as well. From the earliest days of mankind the people develop beliefs that is based on religious practices. Nobody brainwashed anybody and the various religions developed through thousands of years. The nature of religions changed with times and brainwashing had nothing to do with brainwashing.
I agree with you everyone is entitled to his own beliefs and that people should be allowed to live in harmony - but that would never work out with talking ab out tooth fairies and BS like that.
Twisted history is showing massive ignorance on your part and it will be better if you stay away from twisting historical facts. .
Mike if poor sharktwit were only to speak on subjects about which he is informed he would be silent.
For the sake of comedy I support sharktwit right to speak.
One of the many factors that contributed to the fall of the Roman Empire was the rise of a new religion, Christianity. The Christian religion, which was monotheistic ran counter to the traditional Roman religion, which was polytheistic (many gods). At different times, the Romans persecuted the Christians because of their beliefs, which were popular among the poor.
In 313 C.E., Roman emperor Constantine the Great ended all persecution and declared toleration for Christianity. Later that century, Christianity became the official state religion of the Empire. This drastic change in policy spread this relatively new religion to every corner of the Empire.
By approving Christianity, the Roman state directly undermined its religious traditions. Finally, by this time, Romans considered their emperor a god.
The western Empire spoke Latin and was Roman Catholic. The eastern Empire spoke Greek and worshipped under the Eastern Orthodox branch of the Christian church.
