Brilliant.
Israel Folau made headlines over the weekend for all the right reasons when he became Super Rugby’s all-time top try-scorer. But the Wallabies fullback is back in everyone’s news feed today for all the wrong reasons following another homophobic post.
Folau posted an image on Instagram this morning “warning” all homosexuals that hell “awaits” them unless they “repent.”
His post has angered many people online and his employers are far from happy. Folau recently signed a four-year deal with Rugby Australia worth a reported $4million, with reports suggesting he was warned about his social media behaviour during the negotiations.
“The content within the post is unacceptable.” a Rugby Australia statement read
“It does not represent the values of the sport and is disrespectful to members of the Rugby community.”
“RA integrity unit has been engaged.”
A large majority of the rugby world have come out and condemned Folau’s post, but one player has decided to have a bit of fun at the Australian’s expense. England prop Joe Marler directly mentioned Folau on Twitter with some imagery he definitely won’t enjoy…
