Folau sparks controversy yet again

Post by JP14 »

Now I know people are entitled to their own opinions, but isn't this extreme?

How is that not homophobic comment whether or not the Waratahs consider it to be personal

I hope he doesn’t have Nigel reffing him any time soon

Agreed and I think that personal comments made publicly are...hmmm...public!

I would say he's entitled to his opinion, as much as I disagree with him in every possible respect, but it's rather silly to voice this kind of opinion when you're a high profile person.

We all have controversial opinions but choose not to air them as they can upsetting and can harm future prospects and careers. Folau needs to learn to keep his mouth shut to be honest.

Someone should remind him of the verses in Leviticus which forbid colouring your hair and getting tattoos.

Rugby Australia now tweeting that they are his own views and they’re very disappointed.

Bet Daryl Gibson is delighted
