Those of you who follow our beloved and dreaded Supreme Dark Lord (PBUH) know full well about his extensive writings on the subject of SJW infiltration into various institutions. One of those institutions that appears to have been quite thoroughly infiltrated is Australia’s beloved sport of rugby.
Various Hard Right personalities, including our own good friend Adam Piggott, the Gentleman Adventurer, have noted the case of Israel Folau. Almost nobody in America has ever heard of him, but he is apparently the best rugby player in Australia – according to fans of the game, of which I am not one – and therefore one of the best players of the game in the entire world.
He is also a devout practicing Christian who lives by the writings and teachings of the True Faith.
And because he is a practicing Christian, he condemns homosexuality for the flagrant sin that it is:

A post shared by Israel Folau (@izzyfolau) on
Note what Mr. Folau did, and did not, do.
He did call out homosexuality for the disgusting sin that it is.
He did also call out other sins – and ALL of us are guilty of at least one of these sins, at one point or another during our lives: drunkenness, adultery, fornication, lying, thievery, atheism, and idolatry.
I am directly and personally guilty of all of those (except adultery) at various points in my life. I am not, and have never been, any sort of paragon of virtue. I do not pretend otherwise. Though I have plenty of good qualities, I am not a good person.
Understandably, this post of his was offensive in the extreme. Nobody likes having his sins called out in public. But then, that is the entire point of the truth – it must be offensive, because lies are comfortable and soothing and easy, but truth is uncomfortable and harsh and difficult.
Mr. Folau did not say that homosexuals should be stoned in public, thrown off buildings, hanged, shot, or otherwise harmed in any way.
He did not incite violence against anyone.
He did not say that he is anyone else’s moral superior.
His “crime” was simply to point out that sin is what it is, and that only through acceptance, repentance, and atonement, can a man’s soul be saved.
I rather fail to see what the problem is with that, but then I’m not an SJW.
At any rate, a whole bunch of SJW Lefties got their panties in a serious wad over this post of his and promptly lost their shit, causing Rugby Australia to tell him that his post was “unacceptable”. They ar trying to terminate his A$4 million contract, thereby losing the services of one of the best players in the game.
And all because he said that buttsecks is a Badness Thing.
Now, this is where the story gets interesting. Mr. Folau was offered an A$1 million settlement to walk away from his contract and not pursue further legal action against Rugby Australia. He declined, and will now attempt to pursue legal action against the Rugby Australia organisation if they try to terminate his contract.
Apparently, this could be incredibly damaging to Rugby Australia:
Israel Folau’s expected legal action against Rugby Australia if it terminates his contract could financially cripple the sporting body.
The 30-year-old has rejected the RA’s $1million settlement offer to walk away from his contract and his career after making an Instagram post that homosexuals and other ‘sinners’ will go to hell if they don’t repent.
Folau was found guilty by a three-member panel last week of a high-level breach of the player code of conduct.
The panel, composed of John West QC, Kate Eastman SC and John Boultbee AM, was expected to hand down its penalty later Friday, with most observers expecting his contract to be terminated without compensation.
Folau will have the right to appeal through the sport’s disciplinary procedures, but the Daily Telegraph reported he could waive that right and take his case directly to the civil courts.
The Wallabies star, a devout Christian, believed he had been religiously persecuted for his beliefs, with his contentious posting being a largely direct quote from the Bible.
He told a Sydney church service last weekend that he had refused the ‘temptation’ to take down the controversial post at RA’s request – indicating he was prepared to take his case further.
A court battle was one that RA could not easily afford.
It had already spent a reported $350,000 in legal fees on the Folau matter, and a prolonged fight in the court was likely to cost millions.
Splendid. Wonderful. Bravo, Mr. Folau.
Or, to put it another way – “Well done, thou good and faithful servant!”
That is how you take the fight to the enemy: hang him by his own chosen rules. Rugby Australia set out a particular standard and terms for this fight, and now they may well be destroyed by those terms.
Even if Mr. Folau loses – which is a distinct possibility, given how far left all of the West’s governing institutions have gone, and Australia is no exception in this regard – he will still have made the legal battle a very costly one for his former employers.
And that is precisely the point.
When you face deplatforming and silencing on social media and other platforms, you must take action. Too many “conservatives” simply sit back and take the lumps that they are dealt, because they take the “turn the other cheek” part of the Bible very literally and very stupidly.
That is not what the Big Cheese actually meant. What Jesus actually meant was that you need to stand resolute and defiant in the face of evil, and refuse to back down or accommodate lies.
You can, and indeed you should, pray for those who hate you and want you destroyed, because as the Lord has proven repeatedly, He can soften even the hardest of hearts and turn once-evil sinners into good and righteous men.
But you must not back down when evil comes knocking.
And if you can make the enemy pay a severe price for attacking you, then that is almost the best outcome possible – shy of him repenting and seeking forgiveness from you for his transgressions, that is.
As our friend Adam noted, Mr. Folau might just be the most courageous man in Australia. His example is inspiring, and it is humbling.
I salute you, sir.
Oh, and for those who wonder whether Mr. Folau will be happy now that he faces losing his livelihood, take a look at a picture of him with his wife:
And now take a look at the Chief Executive of Rugby Australia – a man’s game played by manly men who absorb some of the most violent and punishing body blows in all of sport:
You tell me who is happier.
