        No immediate action? WTF Rugby Australia? Are you going to do him over slowly? Raelene Castle with her translator mit with @IzzyFolau & his "menagar". This women thing is a joke! Stay strong Izzy - Alan Joyce is a terrible hypocrite - partners with deadly Muslim Emirates

        Yes even if we don’t agree with what he says we should defend his right to say it. Freedom of religion. Bill and Bos’s Mark Bosnich needs to grow up too. Tolerance and acceptance are marks of a mature society.

        And they shouldn't, I am so sick to death of lefties trying to silence free speech in Australia, offence is not handed out, it's taken. If snowflakes can't handle free speech, they should get off social media and grow up.

        They should not take action, not immediate, not ever! He's entitled to his views, leave him alone!

        @IzzyFolau you can count your luck for being a great sport star to escape punishment for crossing such powerful group. However, be assured that you will continue to be watched and persecuted. This group just will not accept any dissent. @abcnews @politicsabc @theage @smh

        Why should they do anything? I don't agree with his religion or his views. As long as he's not forcing them onto others,he can do what he wants.

        Israel Folau has every right to his religious opinion. He hasnt threatened anyone with death b/c they're gay, has he? The so call tolerant, are intolerant. Who does Joyce think he is? Jerk!

        Rugby Australia should have used the “unity with diversity” defence. “The players r united on the field 2 make their nation proud, but come from diverse backgrounds & opinions, and that’s what makes this multicultural and tolerant country g8” #UnityWithDiversity #ProblemSolved

        Why should there be any action against his freedom of speech & freedom of religious beliefs ? When did the gay & lesbian mafia start running the country & rugby ?
