Who are ‘the people’?

He voiced an opinion. I’m always suspicious of expressions like ‘religious opinion’ as they are often used to cloak over simple bigotry. Many Christians don’t share his bigotry.
He’s allowed an opinion and to express it, but unless he’s a total idiot, he must have been aware that you’ll pay a price for this kind of opinion in a civilised country.

His views, or God's views, or the bible's views.
"Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God." (1 Corinthians, Chapter 6)
I'd like to think that those who oppose his views are also critical of the bible.

A 'second chance'? For what?
All he did was voice his religious opinion and the PC police go berserk persecuting him. Justly he won his fight with Rugby Australia. The PC police are doing the same to Margaret Court. So much for 'diversity and inclusion'. Hypocrites. The people are getting sick of PC culture and those who push it.

Not sure I care what his views on sexuality and adultery and drunkenness and fornication are. He is a talented rugby player and should be judged as such. Feel the same way about actors and other celebs. Their views on social issues are not really of concern to me. The notion of them being :role models" is, in my view, vastly overplayed by the media.

BigYen...I think you assume too much. Quite a few people that are as “anti gay” as him are often in denial. That and the fact that he likes to spend much of his free time up close and personal with sweaty, muscular men in shorts. Methinks he doth protest too much!
