Wigan Warriors announce 'Pride Day' after Dragons sign Israel Folau

Devout Christian Folau wrote on his Instagram account last year that 'hell awaits' for 'drunks, homosexuals, adulterers, liars, fornicators, thieves, atheists, idolaters'.

This will feed the media for months to spin fake news. One outlet is now headlining that Izzy being back in league doesn't mean he'll be playing for QLD or Australia. Who in their right mind would even think Izzy could be picked? The NRL banned rep teams picking Super League players years ago.

Poor form by Wigan too imo. Super League says Izzy will get punted the minute he says anything and then Wigan go and make their game against Catalans a Pride Day event. They are baiting Izzy imo or forcing him to stay at home in France for the game and not play.

Using the game of rugby league for social agendas is going too far imo. The NRL, ARU and AFL created this mess though with their feel good rounds for this and that every week.

I honestly find it hilarious that people who think Folau's comments are hateful and bigoted are giving him so much oxygen.

Folau believes gay people are in danger of going to hell. People who don't believe in hell have no reason to care what he says, and people who think he is wrong about homosexuality should care even less.

There is no small irony that those who claim to be motivated by love and acceptance for all are so determined to ruin a guy's life and so bitter when it doesn't stay ruined.

This is a situation where the free market is the only solution. Izzy has the right to sell his services. Catalans has the right to employ his services. Fans have the right to cheer for him or discontinue their support of the club. Time will tell.

Just out of interest, is there anything in the bible that suggests God is heterosexual. After all there is no Mrs God and He did make all the rainbows.

I'm more concerned about his comments about drunks.
And ah
A couple of the other categories...

I just don’t get the fuss. Lucky he didn’t say all dickheads will go to hell it would have caused pandemodium.

Do you think there is wi-fi in hell?

If he shuts up then let's move on. A steal at around 400k for Catalans.

He recently said the bushfires were because we have gay marraige.

Funny then that God should leave Oxford Street completely unsinged. Instead, it seems, He burned a lot of rural areas that would have voted against legalising gay marriage. And that’s after subjecting them to 6 years of drought. I think Izzy may be on shaky ground.

Who gives a flying ****, certainly not me!!

If a club wants to employ a wanker let them, as long as it’s not my Manly I couldn’t give a ****.

I reckon he'll behave for a season, redeem himself in the eyes of the eyeballer himself & find himself another nice juicy contract with the Roosters or Storm for 2021.

Good on Catalans for being the club to grow a set and not listen to the snowflakes.
Any NRL club should’ve been able to sign him if the association wasn’t run by a bunch of politically correct morons. But on the other hand let’s criminals play.
He will start carving up in the ESL and they will use his highlights in promotional videos.

They talk about rugby league being a game of inclusiveness but a bunch of you have made him an outcast for following his religious beliefs. Just because you don’t agree with his views it doesn’t mean you can make him an outcast.

Let them bait him.

He is is a misguided dill - whose life is built around a credulous acceptance of fairytale beliefs, not an acceptance of facts.
