Yeah that’s BS. Hayne and Timmy Mannah were the most religious of NRL players. Jason Stevens before them. Nobody gave a shit.

The difference is bigotry.

I’m not just talking about the NRL, I’m talking about society.


it seems ok to take pot shots at Christianity but it doesn’t seem to work the other way. Bigotry indeed

All three have copped plenty of shit for their religion.

I’m struggling to find a comparison. What would it look like “the other way around” ? Like when Margaret Court said...

Far from modifying her denouncement of gay marriage, tennis champion Margaret Court has broadened it, saying that it was causing huge problems in countries where it was legalised, that homosexuality was an ungodly "lust for the flesh" and that LGBT tendencies in young people were "all the devil".

"That's what Hitler did. That's what communism did," Court said, "get in the minds of the children. There's a whole plot in our nation and in the nations of the world to get in the minds of the children."

If you are trying to say that regular people don’t give religion respect, I would suggest to you that most people happily give factions of religion respect. The Salvos and Buddhists would have huge respect. Catholics for example, not so much. Respect is hard earned and easily eroded.

Rubbish. West Tiger supporters cop 10,000 times more shit than Timmy ever did for being a virgin on his wedding day.

It's a full time job trying to keep up and watch what you say in social circles these days I reckon... Be it the alphabet people, those with imaginary friends in the afterlife, members of the fairer sex and what not.... It's a wonder anyone bothers talking to anyone these days...

Did you say social “circles”?!?!?

He may well be ahead of his time....

Nope. Racism and bigotry brings the game into disrepute. Actual violent crimes you say ? I guess if those people actually existed they would need to have served time and shown remorse.

Sign him and make the rules around social media clear. If he breaches then he's reprimanded. Until then I think everyone should keep it in their pants.

If Matt Lodge was allowed to play Ivan Milat should of been a chance let alone a brain dead zealot like Folank.

Lodge didn’t do any of those things. But got a free ride back into the game.

He spent one night in Rikers lol. Big f**king deal, and he was back into the game before he payed any restitution to the victims. It was up to the Broncos to help him start paying those victims back.

Yeah massive punishment lol, if was an absolute disgrace this maggot was ever allowed back into the game.

Starting to think that Lodge must have stolen your lime scooter.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Must have found a club with a KFC that is closer.

I find that grossly offensive.

I respect Catholics. They stick to their guns instead of changing their definition of right and wrong every couple of years like 'regular people'. Morality isn't fashion.

I don't respect Catholics at all, but I'm not stupid enough to think that they are inferior to anyone else of religious persuasion.

I wasn’t just ranking any religion over another. The catholics have lost a lot of respect and credibility for good reason. The champions of morality lost the plot.

Well it's good that you're not tarring all homosexuals with this brush, so why do you think it's fine to tar all Catholics with it?
