A few years back, Israel Folau gave a confronting opinion on gay people â and his career in major football codes was as good as over. Now, a lifeline back into rugby league is being given a fine-tooth comb scrutiny (âFolau to agree to social media terms in $1m Dragons offerâ, February 3). What on earth does an ability to cleverly pass a lump of leather have to do with Folauâs narrow, though not unique, views on homosexuality? Football has produced its share of louts, partner bashers and sexual abusers, some of whom have somehow been allowed to tip-toe back into the game.
