If the position is that he was sacked for breaching his contract, that's not a reason for every club to reject him. It would be simple to get him to sign a similar contract and hope that he abides by it. If the position is not to sign him because his views are unacceptable, that's a slippery slope to go down. Where is the line drawn? Not signing a player who votes for the BNP? Not signing a player who publicly supports Donald Trump? Not signing a player who publicly advocates Brexit?

I can understand people who might have disapproved of Joe's tweets to wind up Folau. Didn't bother me, but what if someone did claim they were offended?

The line to be drawn Quinky is keeping those harmful views to himself. Stating what he stated. Fair enough he’s allowed his views and if that’s how it feels then great for him, but to amplify it on Instagram where he has young kids looking up to him, where it’s clearly not the kindest thing to say and where he has already been warned by ARU not to say what he did publicly as he did so before. The fact he did so exactly a year after the last time he did something like it and was warned by the ARU (who in the long and short of their warning said to him “think what you think but don’t say it publicly”) was taking the micky out of the ARU and he clearly hadn’t learnt from past mistakes. Again people can have their own views that’s fine but if you amplify them in the public eye where it can harm a group of people or encourage others again for example young fans to take up the same views is just wrong. With great respect Quinky, that’s the line. Think what you think, but think before you say, as saying what you think isn’t always the right thing to do; especially when it’s spreading hate and causing upset. Capeche.

He also showed no care in that the ARU warned him not to do it once so he did it twice. When clubs look at him and see that, that shows the player clearly has a lack of respect to club/RU wishes, and no club wants someone who ignores their clubs values/ignores warnings issued. Plus it was made public that he started to divide the Australian national teams dressing room. No club wants that either

Surely these are political views, which as you say, should be respected and should not prohibit employment, but the LBGTQ question is more ethical than political, no?
