Is every super league player.now going to be asked if he is homophobic as well? I Guarantee you he isn't the only one that will be And, by way of contrast, if every SL player was melded up to some sort of infallible mind scan as to whether they had had thoughts of a same sex nature. I guarantee they wouldn't be alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he repeats it's an immediate sacking Plus they get a big fine too I don't know if he should be allowed to keep repeating these comments whilst he plays rugby bc it is very damaging to the sport and his club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has refused to wear gambling sponsorship. He did so quite reasonably, and didn't accompany it with a declaration that everyone who did was off to Hell. In many ways he is a good model for his religion. Makes a stand, and a point, without demanding or condemning others. Perhaps that is why the money flows? Who am I to guess what he thinks?

If anyone religious uses their faith to help others and deeply reflect on their failings and resolve to improve as a human being as a mantra then I am OK with it. Whatever faith. If they use their faith to belittle, intimidate, bully, condemn or incite violence against anyone else then that is not OK with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
