I agree in that he does run the risk of putting the sport in disrepute and that’s the issue and I don’t know what the answer is. 

 

The problem is that if rugby Australia comes out and says the common sense thing like “we as a group of players all have different religions, belief systems and sexualities and we embrace everyone for those and promote equality and freedom of speech for all. We do not agree with his comments but he has a right to follow his religious beliefs and share those on his own platforms.” 

 

Then people would be outraged and automatically say that they were all bigots, which wouldn’t be the case. 

 

Its a a hard thing to navigate. 

Either way the bloke should have shut his trap and kept his beliefs to himself and those who want to listen on a private forum as he knows he’s a public figure and this would cause controversy, which is exactly why he did it obviously.

did you even read the article you linked? *sigh*

 

edit: also, neither of you mentioned specifically public schools in your statements. Who cares what's taught in public schooling? the majority of stuff taught there doesn't stick, anyway :stirthepot:
