Message: [QUOTE="Kooly87, post: 3214524, member: 9326"] I'm not sure what you're trying to even say now? The NRL owes him a job because he would like one? The public owes him acceptance of what he said because he'd like that? The ARU was wrong to sack him. Not morally wrong perhaps, but almost certainly legally wrong. The fact they agreed to settle suggests they know this too. They made the business decision to part company with him, likely knowing it would cost them in legal proceedings, because that is probably cheaper than upsetting sponsors and risking alienating fans. Sacking him was almost certainly a dollars and cents call, not a moral one. What Folau did was legal, but that doesn't exclude him from the consequences of his actions in the public space. He has to live with those consequences even if they are legal. If you say things that are offensive or hurtful to a large cross section of people you have to expect that this will limit how willing other people will be to become commercially involved with you. It's your choice as a free adult. The NRL can choose who it employs and Folau can choose how to conduct himself on social media. Neither party owes the other a thing. It is not, however, your choice to verbally abuse (assault) a Police Officer. Under no circumstances is this acceptable and the public's opinion is irrelevant on this one because once you have broken the law you will be punished by the Court and once that has taken place just about every employment contract in existence has provisions for termination.
