[QUOTE="unrated, post: 1011888, member: 45773"] So apparently Matera has posted a message to resign or something like that and I loosely say this but condemned the UAR for their reaction. Translation from the alleged Matera statement which I guess we need to confirm first follows below. "In light of the events that are now public knowledge and as a way to express my discontent with what happened I hereby present my irrevocable resignation from the Argentinean Rugby National Team, disagreeing with the behavior of the UAR's authorities. I believe that while I have erred as the human being I am, the actions taken by the management have been outsized and have delegitimized a whole life of preparation and effort that led me to the place where I am, or was. I thank everybody who understands the situation and always supports us, to my family who was been my touchstone in this hard times, I never thought that the thought-police was going to put me on trial in this way for something written by the teenager I used to be, but I accept responsibility. We shouldn't forget that freedom of expression/speech is a right of each and every one of Argentineans and as such, correct or not, must be respected. I take home the pride of having represented the country with the colors that I also carry in my heart, regrettably it's the end of a stage." [/QUOTE]
