Re: Fund me ..... Israel Folau
Clearly there are though. Incredibly ironic in a way. We've had it all over the news, talk shows and shock jock progs ad nauseam.
He wants to challenge , then he should put his sizeable amount of the filthy lucre , the inclusive sporting arena and assorted sponsors paid him, where his mouth is and do so with his own funds. What he is doing is rallying those that agree with his loathing for those born different to himself. His comments disgust me. He should keep such comments to himself and close family and friends of his dubious ilk. . He does the sporting inclusive spirit no good. He has a high profile and with that goes an undertaking to do no harm which he repeatedly ignored. Arrogant and sanctimonious does not begin to cover it.
He wants his religious fervour , then he should leave the sporting arena & devote himself to that. He was not removed for practicing his faith. He was removed for his unacceptable preaching speechifying and quite rightly so. His crusade has no place on a playing field. For me , it has no place at all. This includes that wife of his.
He should perhaps be mindful of what is written in his new testament bible about the Pharisees. I see him no better. No better at all.

And there you have it. The reason why it's impossible to have a decent discussion any more in the Australia forum - too many people using it to splatter their bile all over the place. Get a frigging life.

Re: Fund me ..... Israel Folau
They are asking where the money should go once it rises above 3 million?
Let that be Izzy's choice, but I think there's a big call for it to be donated grass roots rugby in Australia.

They secured enough funding and closed it off. Probably the best thing to do however they could keep it open, store the donations, and contribute elsewhere.

If he wins his court case, then wouldn't legal fees be covered?
Does he believe he's going to lose, and doesn't want to gamble his own money? From what I've read, he would have enough to cover legal fees on his own (not saying that I've read much, or that it's accurate)
If he does win, and legal fees paid as part of any settlement, is he going to refund the donations do you think?

He does own a lot of property so perhaps he doesn't have any liquid money to play with. He was on about a million a year, they are estimating a 2 mill legal bill so that's 2 years salary.
But hey, if people feel he has enough to support his own legal battle then just don't contribute. If he decides he wants to try his luck with asking for donations then well done for initiative. Some may see it as greedy, some not. I certainly won't be contributing.
For me, if you know your actions are going upset your employer, you just don't do it.

Still, money isn't everything, and if you love your job (or not), you don't p*** off your employer as you said.And if he does win a financial settlement, it doesn't necessarily mean he can get back to playing rugby professionally.

Bigotry? Please point to the bigotry in my post. Hateful? If we use your definition of 'hateful', then sure, there's a bit of hate in there (although I certainly don't see it that way), but no different to some of the stuff you've posted om here over the years - included some stuff personally directed at me, to which I've rarely responded
Get over yourself Princess

Re: Fund me ..... Israel Folau
Thanks for the link. Having a quick look, He needs to win more than the $million offered on the face of it to get two thirds of his legal costs covered otherwise he could be paying part of Rugby Australia's legal costs as well.

He can play rugby outside Australia or rugby league anywhere in the world. It's just a matter of who will have him. The French have a habit of taking naughty boys.

Re: Fund me ..... Israel Folau
I reckon starting a legal fund/charity that takes up the cause of people who are being persecuted for saying things that the mainstream. left-wing elite, media and business don't like being said but that are still within the realms of acceptable free speech. Failing that and like you said, funding grassroots rugby - that Castle and RA are clearly not doing - would be a good idea
