True, they don't make the laws any more than you understand them!Well luckily sponsors don't make the laws.

The lawsuit may about whether that a company is allowed to even put that in a contract? i.e. can a contract prohibit an employee from expressing their religious opinion via a contract?I've reiterated it multiple times in this thread, but just for you I'll do it one more time.
He signed a contract under the current CBA for Yawnion players that prohibited him doing what he did. HE BREACHED HIS CONTRACT!!!!!!
The end.
So remind me again which Australian law Izzy broke? We live in a free country buddy.True, they don't make the laws any more than you understand them!
He's not being threatened with jail, though, is he? Workplaces are not governed by law. You're essentially saying companies have no right to terminate a contract unless an employee commits a criminal act. There is no provision under Australia's legal framework which prevents private companies from formulating their own COCs, or terminating the contracts of employees who breach them. Izzy was given a second chance after his initial breach and was given the opportunity to apologise the second time around..... According to court documents he openly admitted at one stage that he breached the COC which he willingly signed. He's not a victim of the law, he's a victim of his own words and self contradictions. He's gonna lose his lawsuit. If I'm wrong, I owe you a can of coke.So remind me again which Australian law Izzy broke? We live in a free country buddy.
Even though they acted within their own right I am saying I don't agree with Rugby over his treatment, they are making a big mistake he is no criminal. Yes he will probably lose his court case but the NRL should not go down the same path. Beattie was a dickhead who jumped the gun. I have yet to hear Greenberg speak definitely on the matter.He's not being threatened with jail, though, is he? Workplaces are not governed by law.

I don't understand the basis of it though brother. I mean why were they wanting it anyway... to add them as friends or to do checks on their private life? Regardless it doesn't sound legal. She could've sued them - a nice departing gift for her.yeah she was there for a few months and then the employees were all asked to provide their social media accounts, so because she refused, they terminated her... I mean there is probably some legal avenues she could have taken, but she probably couldn't be bothered seeing as she had no plans of being there long term, but still.
probably making sure they aren't badmouthing the workplace online, and yea, making sure they aren't up to any shady businessI don't understand the basis of it though brother.

Well trust goes right out the business in that case - I wouldn't want to work there either. I've got more important things to do than talk about how shitty the company I work for is on social media!probably making sure they aren't badmouthing the workplace online, and yea, making sure they aren't up to any shady business
Wrong.Workplaces are not governed by law.
Folau did not post on Instagram in his capacity as an employee of the ARUYou're essentially saying companies have no right to terminate a contract unless an employee commits a criminal act.
The Australian Constitution supersedes all other Australian laws. Section 116 of the Australian Constitution guarantees the right of religious freedom.There is no provision under Australia's legal framework which prevents private companies from formulating their own COCs, or terminating the contracts of employees who breach them.
Breaching a Code of Conduct which is illegal under the Constitution means the Code of Conduct was void ab initio.Izzy was given a second chance after his initial breach and was given the opportunity to apologise the second time around.....

Your an idiot. Have u stopped for 5 seconds to think how izzy treated his team mates, all his coaches, 500 ex players that played the game for love not money. The sponsors the fans that pay his ridiculous wage.Even though they acted within their own right I am saying I don't agree with Rugby over his treatment, they are making a big mistake he is no criminal.

1. Ok, yo an extent they are governed by law in that they are bound by certain laws, but they are well within their rights to self govern their business by establishing their own rules.... so long as they aren’t in breach of Australian law.Wrong.

You're the fucken idiot mate. He has done nothing wrong other than trigger socialist snowflakes like yourself.Your an idiot.

He thought of no **** when he did what he did but himself the pig headed selfish bitch.
Anyone that wants him at our club has no idea about the word team or thinking of others and putting them before youself.
The real shit that it takes to make a man.
Folau is poison why people cannot see this. Incredible, im gob smacked.
Even worse he cant accept what he fucking did and apologise to his team mates. Still trying to blame others the fucking grub instead of owning his ridiculous fuck ups.
No place in sport for any fuck wit like that.
This bloke makes choc look like a saint.
What have you got against the alphabet? It’s the basis of our entire language. Are you anti English or something?You're the fucken idiot mate. He has done nothing wrong other than trigger snowflakes like yourself.
You must be one of the alphabet people eventhough your name suggests you are straight.
In what way yo you think they’ve made a mistake? RA is struggling financially and that idiot threatened to alienate a number of fans whilst also jeopardising sponsorships and corporate partnerships which are keeping the game afloat in this country. His post served no constructive purpose. He’s an idiot who only has himself to blame for the situation he finds himself in.Even though they acted within their own right I am saying I don't agree with Rugby over his treatment, they are making a big mistake he is no criminal.

So why do a whopping 85% of fans say they would like to see him back in the NRL. The minority is loud that's all and it makes PC people afraid.What have you got against the alphabet? It’s the Vaduz of our entire language. Are you anti English or something?
He’s acted like a greedy, judgmental jerk. At a guess, I would say that’s the way the majority of people see it.
Union is treading a fine line. There are many Christian Islanders playing Rugby Union and League who back Izzy but stay silent due to the prospect of being alienated for speaking their beliefs.In what way yo you think they’ve made a mistake?

You really think nrl fans are representative of wider public opinion? Most of them would be voting pretty specifically as sporting fans if they don’t have a particularly strong view one way or another. I think you’ll find their opinion isn’t really reflective of our society as a whole.... and they certainly wouldn’t feel strongly enough snout it to let it turn them off the game.So why do a whopping 85% of fans say they would like to see him back in the NRL.

That won’t happen, I don’t think. The money is too important to them and in the 21st century, any professional sporting code is going to take a similar stance. They all have to worry about sponsors and the vast majority of companies don’t want to associate with that sort of divisive nonsense.Union is treading a fine line.

I can see a mass exodus by these type of players in the future. Hopefully the NRL leaves the door open.
