Tonga have said that they'll take Folau and the other Christians 'cause being gay is illegal in Tonga.
I'd say NZ would take him but they have wiped Israel off the map and called it Palestine lol

True story allegedly...

He's now started a go fund me page for his legal action. Up to $11,000 of his $3 million (yes, three million dollars) goal.

I suppose if you don't ask...

It wouldn't surprise me if the George Pell case is similar in terms of fees - only thing is he's got Christian millionaires in his corner happy to fund it for him.

Pretty sure he's Tongan.
He probably is Tongan but his surname sounds very Samoan - maybe his grandparents or grandfather from a few generations back is Samoan. They're pretty close to each other, like Sydney - Melbourne.

If I was worth over $100,000,000 I'd pay the whole lot for him.

Many would. The sad part is that many people donating to him have probably never donated to charity.

You have to wonder what's more important. Donating to starving children, or donating to an angry sports star.

Bit "rich" for a former mercenary who happily hopped from code to code looking for the biggest paycheque, amassing millions without caring about anyone but himself, now wants others to fund his legal costs. Will he be repaying the money to those making a donation, or a portion of his payout if he wins? Because, after all, its not about the money for Izzy...

But seriously, I get what you are saying, and you really see some daft shit on go fund me and related pages (like the couples who want people to pay for their holidays), but at the end of the day, it's up to people how they spend their own money, whether to a sick kid who needs life saving surgery or to this guy.

Definitely people's choice how they spend their own money, but this is a sad sight.

Don't forget he also has support from Tony Abbott & John Howard.

How is it sad?

Folau has done nothing wrong.
Are you asking, how is it sad that he's the highest fund-raiser easily beating the kids that are dying of terminal diseases?

Pretty sure his payout is more important than children living.

Does anybody know what Church Folau preaches at, as I have a plan on how we can afford a new quality coach, half, hooker, prop and pay part of Latrells salary.

When he wins the court case he will deposit the damages awarded in the churches poor box.

Then we steal it.
