If those views are deemed detrimental to someone’s business and the business owners think it would be then it’s up to them isn’t it? or are they not allowed to look after their business’s best interests?

I agree and as I said before a lot of people are making the mistake of thinking that Folau's freedom of speech is being impacted - it isn't. Folau is free to say whatever he pleases.

But employers must also have the right to terminate employees who continually say things in public that are contrary to their business. Folau isn't just a once-off, he's been warned several times, so he is clearly and consistently in breach of the warning.

Folau is a public entertainer - playing rugby for a living is a privilege afforded by the will of the public. As such, he is subject to public opinion and he cannot separate his personal opinions from his status within the rugby community.
 
Hahaha

The good thing in all this, because I've never been too familiar with Gofundme, its made me aware of others who are truly in need by visiting the website. Saw one poor little guy who needs 24 hour care from his parents after getting sick, resulting in his parents having to give up their business. The target was 30K, and they've raised over 50. I plan on adding a bit more too.

So thank you Izzy for making people aware of those with real problems. This circus wasn't a total waste of time.

Commonsense prevails at the end of the day...Folau has been removed from the Gofundme website.👏🙏

What a tool. He's already arrogant enough posting what he posts no matter what, but at least I can understand he has religious conviction and feels a compulsion to do it.

But asking folks for money to fight RA - that's his own problem, and he's wealthy within his own rights anyway. Fancy the temerity to ask punters to give him money so he can get his job / money back, after repeatedly doing things his employer asked him not to do.
 
@jirskyr It just blows my mind literally... Fancy using that poor excuse of human being as a advocate of freedom of speech...sheeesh!
 
His definitely got plenty of time to play now.😄🤑

his wife has plenty of money 🙂
 
I know of at least one Gofundme copycat, a woman that was outraged at Folau's Gofundme attempt, set up her own to Buy Alcohol for the stressed Mum (herself). I laughed. Gofundme would have to cope with plenty of bogus setups if they had Folau go ahead. Good job.
 
I am slightly amused so many are opposing his method of fund raising. There is little the powerful church lobby and even certain political groups will support Folau. I am all for this matter being adjudicated in court rather than the court of one side's public opinion. It is interior that the ARU opposed this method of fund raising. A loss could see the end of the ARU which probably explains the number of former players commenting.
 
PHEW ! Crisis averted !

You can all come out from your safe spaces guys.

Grown adults have been forcibly prevented from voluntarily donating their own money to a cause they specifcally wanted to support.

Freedom is so overrated anyways.

So grateful the woke superheroes have prevailed and saved us from ourselves.

I guess gofundme has the freedom to choose what goes on their site.
