Haha fuck Manly. It was clearly a publicity stunt and it backfired ...as if they give a shit about the homos.

Now they can't back down so I guess the players will just have to sit out..... weakening the team.

Sport and politics should NEVER EVER mix.

Unfortunately in these social media days it’s common place.

Clubs should be focused on winning games and premierships then virtual signaling by way of a political view.
I totally agree.
Politics and religion should have no place in sport.

People getting into heated discussions on a forum, like there wouldnt be fans punching on in the stands.
Very touchy subject, dont see why the NRL would entertain the idea.

This issue is becoming more and more prevalent. Companies wanting to support people for who they are is conflicting with religion. And it's only going to get worse. The more we accept people who are different, the more the world conflicts with religion.

So what's the solution. Tell LGBTQI peeps that we won't accept them? Or tell religious that we won't accept them?

Manly didn't think too hard about this one.
They were too scared to say no to Ian Roberts...he would have bashed them like he bashed Gary Jack lol.

The marketing department has apparently done this without the approval of the board, smells like more of Manly passing the buck when players don't want to support it.

How was this presented to the players I'd like to know for a were they just told hey you are wearing this no if or Buts, or was there a reasoning why they were introducing the jersey ?
