        I'm an atheist and you stick by what you believe in Izzy. Don't let these hypocritical bullies tell you what to do. I dare the wallabies to pull the million dollar contact from @Qantas

        Pull your head in @Qantas CEO Allan Joyce. Everyone is entitled to their own views. You don't set the social agenda.

        Just like every other person on the planet he is allowed to have his own view. If it isn’t ‘popular’ & someone takes offence then they need to grow up!

        A guy prepared to stand up for his principles, even if you disagree with them, deserves respect.

        Rugby in Aus is a mess, Israel by far the best player. I hope he doesn't back down

        Do these people ever give up? What is it that @IzzyFolau should apologize for? For having his own religious opinion? This persecution must stop. This is real tyranny of minority. We should all be worried about the extent of this persecution. @politicsabc @abcnews @theage @smh

        He’s using religion as his attempt to justify his homophobia. If he was really devout he’d follow the same rules in Leviticus where these people love to cherry pick their hate from. He shouldn’t be shaving, wearing mixed fabrics or eating shell fish but there he is.

        When you seek your rights, that is fight for equality. When I fight for my rights, that is homophobia?! I have no problems with your sexuality or your rights for as long as you don’t try to impose them on everyone.

        WHY should he back down? Is HIS opinion less valid than that of a #PC correct #LGBTI supporter? Is a difference of opinion no longer permitted? Is #religion no longer tolerated? Is #freedomOfSpeech #FreedomOfExpression lost? IS THIS WORLD MAD?? #Australia??
