Interesting to see Folau has challenged the breach notice.
Also interesting that Rugby Australia is in sponsorship negotiations with Qantas..
Interesting also that Qantas is run by an openly gay CEO would would obviously be offended by
Folaus tweets....probably to the extent that he wants Folau punted...
Could it be drawing a long bow that Qantas withdraws their sponsorship if nothing is done
by Rugby Australia to appease someone...

"Ironically, the over the top reaction from Qantas to Folau’s Instagram post has put the spotlight on its long-standing relationship with its commercial partner, Emirates airline. Supporters of Folau have seized on the fact Emirates is based in the United Arab Emirates where LGBTQI people have no rights, and homosexuality is punishable by death.

Qantas wants to sell its catering arm to Emirates. The word “hypocrisy” is being freely used online.

As one letter writer to The Australian asked this week: “How, then, is Qantas able to continue its partnership with Emirates, given the Islamic injunctions against homosexuality in the United Arab Emirates?”

By trying to gag Israel Folau, Rugby Australia and Qantas have over-reached. They’ve turned a minor PR issue into a full-on debate about employees’ rights to free speech and religious beliefs in the workplace."

So once again, the world has to appease islam.....ffs....unbelievable....

More to this fiasco than meets the eye....

The most high-profile pushback against Rugby Australia has come from outspoken former Wallabies coach Alan Jones, now a highly influential radio broadcaster.
Jones, who has frequently railed at how the governing body is run, said the decision “completely corrupted” free speech in Australia, while praising Folau for his “conviction and Christian commitment”.
“It’s got nothing to do with Israel, or rugby, or religion, or homosexuals. Where are we in this country on free speech?” he said.
Rugby Australia insist it is simply an employment contract issue, while making clear they would not tolerate “disrespect to people because of their sexuality”
They have won plenty of support, including from Sport Australia boss Kate Palmer who commended the tough stance and urged other sports to follow suit.
“Everyone is entitled to their own views but expressing divisive and discriminatory beliefs is harmful to sport and the broader Australian community,” she said, while key sponsor Qantas, Wallabies coach Michael Cheika and several high-profile players have distanced themselves from Folau.
Jones took aim at Cheika and Australia captain Michael Hooper for “selling out their former teammate” and “singing the company tune to keep their gravy train rolling”.
“How odd that Rugby Australia preaches ‘diversity’ and ‘inclusiveness’ when what they really mean is uniformity or exclusion,” Jones said in a column for The Australian newspaper.
‘Apparent hypocrisy’
Rugby Australia’s position has also been criticised by sections of the New Zealand media.
Sports columnist Mark Reason wrote in an opinion piece for stuff.co.nz that Rugby Australia wanted to “be all touchy-feely, it wants to be modern, it wants to be a beacon of inclusivity”.
“But inclusivity means including all, it means including people whom you may not agree with, it means including Israel Folau,” he said.
Like Jones, Reason pointed to apparent hypocrisy by Rugby Australia whose key sponsor Qantas, run by openly gay chief executive Alan Joyce, has called Folau’s comments “really disappointing”.
“It seems very peculiar that Rugby Australia can partner with Qantas, whose sister airline is Emirates, the flagship of a state where homosexuality is a jailable offence, and yet cast Folau out into the wilderness,” he wrote.
“In Islam homosexuality is an incontrovertible sin. Yet I have not noticed Australia boycotting the Dubai Sevens.”
Free speech worldwide will soon be a thing of the past........

Why do they use the words "openly gay" when referring to some bloke? Either they are gay or not. Do we refer to "straight" men as "openly straight"? I didn't think so.

That's because there is no term for openly normal
You are simply normal.

But openly gay, or more correctly, openly abnormal, is quite correct.

And yes gaydom is abnormal, less than a percentage of 3% of the population will not even be considered on the normal distribution curve, it is an anomaly.

Does that clear it up for you?

Indeed it does.
