SO Israel Folau will learn of his future as a professional rugby football star in Australia in early May. That is when the threemember tribunal will convene his code of conduct hearing for breaching allegedly his contract with Rugby Australia (RA).
His crime?
Folau, according to RA committed a high level breach of the professional players’ code of conduct, warranting termination of his employment contract. That “high level breach” is actually the words that the player posted on 10 April on his personal Twitter and Instagram accounts, stating: “Warning. Drunks, homosexuals, adulterers, liars, fornicators, thieves, atheists, idolaters. Hell awaits you. Repent! Only Jesus saves.”
The furore those words caused continued unabated to this day, with people from all walks of life, shade or colour, weighing on the wrong or right of what this player of Tongan descent wrote. Judgements, solicited or not, rained down on the rugby footballer because of his judgemental social media posts.
