| On the Wigan LGBT thing, if your team did the same thing, would you attend the match ??
I think it could turn out to be a disaster !
Who wants to see gay men and women flaunting their sexuality in plain view ?? which is exactly what happens at these events !!
No thanks !
I’m not homophobic, just old fashioned.

| I hope he breaks his leg in round 1.
And I hope people think twice about giving their money to Catalans by going over there...

Do you think they will have same sex couples banging on the pitch or something? You stay at home with your pipe and slippers friend.

| Good signing. Really looking forward to seeing him play. Won't be as good as he used to be but hope he's still got plenty of skill and a top player

No, ignorant AND homophobic, clearly never been anywhere near a Pride event.
If a heterosexual couple hold hands and kiss in public, are they "flaunting their sexuality".
What are your thoughts on people of colour, should they travel on the same bus as you?
Old Fashioned is not an excuse for bigotry.

You say your not a fan, but you must have attended a fair few to confidently state 'this is exactly what happens at these events'.
Anyhow yes I would go to the game.

Wigan are that opposed to it that Lenagan’s just been on 5 live as good as agreeing with the move and says that Wigan would have looked to sign Folau but don’t have space on the cap. Embarrassing after their initial stance, looks like an attempt at financial gain now.

| Quote: sergeant pepper "Nope again I wouldn't be outraged & it wouldn't change my opinion.
If IF said something along the lines of all white people will burn in hell then I genuinely wouldn't do anything other than laugh. The key part here for me is the hell part. An absolute fictional and made up concept that's as outdated as his beliefs. Why would you be bothered at the threat of something that is never ever going to happen? He might as well have said something as stupid as - if you're gay then you'll turn into a unicorn.
Now if he'd gone onto social media and called for mandatory gay conversion therapy, or for all homosexuals to be locked up or segregated from society, I'd rightly be outraged. That's actually something to worry about.'"
Swing and a miss I'm afraid.
I'm sure nobody who is bothered about what IF has said is taking the comments literally. Chances are, if you believe hell exists, you're likely to agree with him anyway. It's what's underneath. Do you think he said what he said as some sort of public service? "Hey guys, nothing personal but gays go to hell, so you know, might want to stop that". Of course not.
As I said at the bottom, by downplaying what he's said because it's not actually going to happen normalises the attitude that LGBT people are different and should be treated differently. As wonderful the steps most of the western world has taken towards it are, until people stop shrugging their shoulders at comments like this there's still some ways to go.

| Can't see Zak Hadaker wearing rainbow laces - that would be totally against his belief's.

Whatever Zak's personal and private beliefs are, I am sure he will abide by his employers decision.

Forgot to add that Wigan trying to take the moral high ground, given they signed Hardaker who’s long list of indiscretions (including homophobic abuse) is far worse than anything Folau’s done, is absolutely hilarious.

Hes actually done a lot of community work supporting LGBT. Try again. He did that before and after his ban.
Again not sure why people cant tell the difference between a homophobe and a person that makes a homophobic remark

You have to remember some people aren't that bright.
