[QUOTE="Leinster Fan, post: 955588, member: 76349"] Defending bigotry isn't brave or praiseworthy, it's pathetic. LGBT agenda? Seriously thought we were past this s**** but clearly not. How you can defend players for using their platform as rugby players to broadcast their views and then criticise fans for doing the same is beyond me. Homophobia isn't a political issue anyway, it's a basic human decency issue and the fact that people can't see that in this day and age is genuinely amazing to me. And even if, for the sake of argument, we say that it is a political issue (which it isn't), sport isn't separate from politics and never has been, people can use to make political statements, in this case Folau and Vunipola did, NOT the Munster fans, who were well within their rights to respond. But no more from me on that, there is a Folau thread where the whole thing has been discussed to death, if you want to talk about it talk about it there instead of randomly bringing it up umpormpted in places that have nothing to do with it. I know you're probably just trolling to get a rise (in which case well done, I'm sure you feel happy with yourself) but that still isn't an excuse to put borderline homophobic stuff up on the internet. (And if you think it's not homophobic just see how the words 'black/female/Jewish agenda' sound in your head because this is literally the exact same). [/QUOTE]
