[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 1097180, member: 73592"] Not quite sure where to put this, is part sport as a whole, part rugby league, part politics... The Folau issue also brings it firmly into Union territory as well. Probably deserves a thread of it's own, for both importance, and ease of moderating. TL;DR An Aussie NRL team wanted to wear a rainbow trimmed shirt to show inclusiveness, especially of LGBT+ community. 7 players refused to wear the shirt, or play in the match, on religious grounds. Backlash and recriminations on both sides. Good article here having a look at the subject of homophobia in Australian sport.
