Totally forgot about Mason

as an LGBT dragons fan, I feel a bit sick to be honest, a shameful day. I opposed the signings of Bird, Carney et al but the story of redemption slightly sweetened it, this just feels plain wrong, we’re giving a chance to an unrepentant rotten egg. The club has hit rock bottom in my eyes.

Jimmy and I are putting our heads together to try and ensure some good comes out of this. Watch this space.

I've just read what Bernard is quoted as saying.

He truly has lost his head with this "deal" whereby if any more vile views are expressed by Folau that the players contract will be terminated and our club severely fined.

This is too much for one day...

We will cover the Wigan Chairman allegedly saying they were in for him tomorrow.

Whether people like it or not, most polynesians have very similar religious views.
The polynesian islands had some crazy cultural practices in pre colonial times that involved very structured belief systems, and this was largely replaced by pretty extreme christian beliefs, spread by missionaries from Mormons, Seventh day adventists etc.
If you interviewed the polynesians playing Rugby League around the world, most would refuse to discuss their views, but they would mostly be in lock step with Izzy.
The only difference between Izzy and a few hundred other high profile RL players of polynesian heritage is that Izzy won't stay silent about his religious beliefs.

There's clearly quite the difference in privately holding socially conservative views and actively proselytising the most extreme of them on social media.

They are his staunch Christian religious beliefs, maybe a little extreme but we have to put up with Muslims extremest rantings with no action taken, then there is SBW "Muslim" refusing to advertise the SL sponsor "Bet Fred" on his shirt, and they help pay his salary.
Also your LGBT community saying what`s right or wrong in their eyes, having gay pride marches and closing roads for them.
Don`t you think this upsets other people having rainbow warriors rammed down your throat constantly.

Extremist rantings have actions taken against them.

SBW not wearing a betting logo is the same as saying that Australia's liberal attitude to homosexuality is responsible for the bushfires and that gay people will burn in hell? Woah. False equivalence ahoy. The inverted commas around Muslim are duly noted, also.

If you're having it rammed down your throat, you're doing it wrong.
