BREAKING: Israel Folau and Rugby Australia have settled their dispute over the sacking of the former Wallaby due to controversial social media posts.
Israel Folau and Rugby Australia have settled their dispute over the sacking of the former Wallaby due to his controversial social media posts.
Folau had asked for $14 million in compensation for the sacking, while Rugby Australia said it was within its rights to sack him over a controversial Instagram post in April condemning"drunks" and"homosexuals", and warning"hell awaits" them.
"Mr Folau wants all Australians to know that he does not condone discrimination of any kind against any person on the grounds of their sexuality and that he shares Rugby Australia's commitment to inclusiveness and diversity."Rugby Australia and NSW Rugby said they"do not in any way" agree with the content of Folau's post, which included an image of people he said would go to hell, including atheists, liars and fornicators.
