Well done Rugby Australia - one less bigot in the game

In short, a great rugby player has expressed, and stood by his beliefs that his god will consign a wide range of people to a fiery fate.

Why yes, homosexuals, atheists and adulterers are included…how did you guess? Also idolators which I guess rules out anyone from any other religion apart from his. Tough luck Quakers!

As a result, sponsors have been deserting him and his national team have terminated his lucrative contract.

Good…bye!

His views seem very clear and apologetically horrific and I while I’m happy to give him all the freedom he wants to express it without legal sanction, I equally happy to see him chucked out, his dark-age views seem incompatible with a team sport that, presumably, must see him line up with a fair few of those he’d be willing to see burn (in a spirit of what I assume must be christian love of a kind)

That’ll be great for team spirit then!

Cool — thanks for sharing!

I like how it says “Player ‘saddened’ by decision but is ‘considering options’”. Has he considered not being an asshole?

Standard response: “Hey, I’m not being a bigot! I’m just repeating what God said! Because God is a bigot!”

He has the freedom to his opinions and others have the freedom to judge him for those opinions.

And the fire awaits us all. :stuck_out_tongue:
