The NRL Is Anti-Christian

 

You can beat your wife or girlfriend.

You can deal drugs.

You can take drugs.

You can take performance enhancing drugs.

You can have gambling debts in the hundreds of thousands.

You can put a little girl in hospital, while driving unlicenced.

You can be credibly charged with sexual assault.

You can glass someone in a pub.

And the NRL has a pathway to let you play again. This is not theoretical, these are actual situations that the NRL has walked through and let the players come back into the competition.

But if you accurately quote the Bible on the issue of our culture's favourite sexual sins, as Folau did, they will crush you, and exclude you, and act like you are the real danger.

Make no mistake, this is not about Israel Folau. This is happening because Rugby League has the one of highest rates of Christian representation of any sport, as far as I know at least - unless you include dropping verses about free will to bait your Calvinist friends a sport of course 😉 - Particularly because of Islander participation. They are seeking to cow their desire to speak up.

I think these players should consider striking, en masse, until the NRL backs down. Like the Manly players did a few years ago when they refused to wear the rainbow jersey. Otherwise, every single one of these players risks being the next Israel Folau.

The idea that the NRL can claim some kind of moral high ground is as laughable as it gets. I don’t know anyone who watches sport expecting the players to be paragons of virtue. We watch it because we want to see great competition. This sort of social justice nonsense will kill anyone’s desire to watch this sport.
