Opinion: For God’s sake, AFLW and Folau comparisons miss mark on Manly jersey saga | Peter_Fitz
The Manly Sea Eagles rainbow jersey, and the seven players who have refused to wear it?1. This is not the moral or legal equivalent of what Israel Folau did. The one-time Wallaby aggressively used his platform to spew bigotry, and continued to do so despite being warned not to.
You are prepared to trash the entire Manly season on this issue alone? In a world where rugby league hasthe sporting fraternity in making change, in making it clear that the game really is for all races, all genders, all sexualities, all religions you want to make a stand for ...Fairfax Media So we have to ask. Does your religion countenance all of the above, but truly draw the line at showing support for the central idea that while some people are born with red hair and freckles, some with blond hair and vacant looks, some with black hair and darker skin, some are also born straight while others are born gay? That’s it! That is all that Manly wearing the rainbow jersey is saying.
It was put very well by the Kyle and Jackie O newsreader Brooklyn Ross, who is gay, on Tuesday morning.
