Seven Australian rugby league players have vowed to boycott a key match after their team announced they would be wearing a rainbow-themed LGBT jersey to show support for ‘inclusivity and diversity.
The move has sparked vicious debate that has even dragged in the Prime Minister
The Manly Warringah Sea Eagles made headlines when they announced last week that they would be the first team in Australia’s National Rugby League (NRL) to wear pride shirts to promote the LGBT agenda.

In a statement the team declared: “Manly Warringah Sea Eagles will proudly wear a rainbow-detailed jersey to celebrate inclusiveness during our Round 20 game against the Roosters at 4 Pines Park”
Gatewy Pundit reports: According to various reports, the players were not consulted before the decision was made. As a result, several players refused to wear the team’s pride shirt because it goes against their religious beliefs and cultural differences.
The seven players were Josh Aloiai, Jason Saab, Christian Tuipulotu, Josh Schuster, Haumole Olakau’atu, Tolutau Koula, and Toafofoa Sipley.
Players Sean Keppie, Kieran Foran, and Reuben Garrick were the three players who modeled it for the promotional campaign.

More from Dail Mail:
Manly Warringah Sea Eagles, based north of Sydney, unveiled the strip – which features rainbow piping on the neck, sleeves and around the sponsor logo – yesterday morning, saying it showed support for ‘inclusivity and diversity’.
But just hours later club bosses were forced to call a crisis meeting with players who said they would refuse to wear the top on ‘religious and cultural grounds’, having failed to consult them on the decision ahead of time.
Now, what was meant to be a symbol of togetherness has instead become one of division as an openly gay club legend, league bosses, radio presenters, and even the Prime Minister have been dragged into a vicious debate overshadowing the sport.
Meanwhile Manly faces calling up reserve players for Thursday night’s game that could prove crucial for their chances of winning the league, after owner Scott Penn categorically ruled out dropping the strip.
Manly Coach Des Hasler and Captain Daly Cherry-Evans addressed the media on Tuesday and apologized for the “mismanagement” of the pride jersey release, per CNN.
“The intent of the rainbow color application of our jersey was to represent diversity and inclusion … embracing all groups who feel marginalized, face discrimination and have a suppressed share of voice,” Hasler said.
“The jersey’s intent was to support the advocacy and human rights pertaining to gender, race, culture, ability and LGBTQ movements. Sadly, the execution of what was intended to be an extremely important initiative was poor. There was little consultation or collaboration between key stakeholders, both inside and outside the club.
“Sadly, this poor mismanagement has caused significant confusion, discomfort and pain for many people. We have even adversely affected our playing group, a wonderful group of people comprising of many different races and cultural backgrounds.
“We wish to sincerely apologize for the mistakes we have made. We wish to apologize to the minority groups within the community who embrace the rainbow colors as a symbol of pride in who they are and what they stand for.
“We wish to apologize to the LGBTQ community who embrace the rainbow color for pride and advocacy and human rights issues. We accept your cultural beliefs and hope that you can accept our apology.”

Well done mates. Let’s keep the game for men (or woman) with balls, (and a thingy)
Ironic its take Polynesians to lead the way as white men here are less like your avatar and more like soy lattes. Much like what is happening with reformed christianity globally the dark races are putting the white man to shame and not even including catholics in my statement!
Theyre mostly Maori who are the mist bisexual race on earth but they often are in the Moron Church and go all “religious”. .
Pussyfication has not yet taken off seriously over here in South Africa and I guess (read hope) the “Boere” will not be intimidated soon. We (our black government) have “real” problems to solve so gender and religion issues are still on the back burner.
People laughed at me 10 years ago when I said that there will come a day when a man will have to give oral sex to another man to prove that he is not homophobic, and this will be required in order get a job.
looks like my prediction is not so outlandish, right?
I started thinking in those lines when hollywood came out with the movie Brokeback Mountain. Never wached it, but i knew that it was some type off brainwashing stunt.
How do you know all this? Who are you to now this are you ex cia!
No, I could not get in, I could not pass the psychopath test. Turns out I am not a psychopath.
I’m laughing now. Haha Haha
No Decayed thinking for these men.
Biden is a Queer catholic!
Biden is many things, and a President is not one of them.
Certainly love is crucial, so how about loving God? “And God said, ‘This is the sign of the covenant which I am making between Me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all successive generations; I set MY bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth. …and I will remember My covenant… never again shall the water become a flood to destroy all flesh” (Genesis 9:12-15).
The New Age movement was abusing the rainbow as “the Rainbow Bridge,” and now this latest effrontery. The rainbow belongs to the only God, Yahweh, Who out of His great love has not destroyed us and sent us our Savior from sin, Lord Jesus Christ!
New Age movement got it from Kinsey!
Yes but also remember God didn’t destroy Soddom and Gomorah because they were LGBQT but because of their Pride .And pride if you listen now is everywhere And I do mean everywhere .People are proud of their church and their community and their values. All that .
You are right, and pride was the motivation for Lucifer to usurp God’s authority! Ezekiel 16:49 — “Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.” That environment provided the greenhouse for sexual perversions to grow.
You are right, and pride was the motivation for Lucifer to try to be like God! Ezekiel 16:49 — “Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.” That environment provided the greenhouse for sexual perversions to grow.
Soddom and Gomorah – They were lgbt and Sodomites. They wanted the two ( 2 ) Angels to have anal sex with them. They wanted the POWERS of those Angels. Anal sex OPEN the 3rd eye, the Horus eye. This is the Mark of the Beast in the forehead. Over the Rainbow is about DISSOCIATION and multiple personality caused by ANAL sex trauma, brutal murders and/or constant traumas. The rainbow is a BRIDGE between different locations. LORD GOD blocked that Bridge after the flood, barring the demons and evil spirits to easily communicate with humans and to stop them teach evil things to humans. Now after almost 4000 years demons are teaching corrupt humans how to use MAGIC – SCIENCE to decode and destroy the LOCK witch is the Rainbow. They use SODOMY. They also give Tesla the gift of electricity magic. And now, Tesla through Musk will use Microchip implants to mark humans. Back to SODOMY. They use this to OPEN the 3rd EYE to the sodomized, creating multiple personality disorder. You can see them how they tell us to use PRONOUNS. They also use HAARP, Cloud seeding etc against the Rainbow. They want to destroy the weather to stop the Rainbow for appearing.
People are going to have to confront these “pride” people, verbally, physically or philosophically; no more parades.

ROCK HUDSON WTF like always
Just tell them that you do not like homosexuals; there is no reason why you have to. I do not like tomatoes but nobody calls me tomatophobic. People foolishly allow themselves to be corralled by propaganda into thinking that they have some spurious moral obligation to approve of these people and support their delusions. They do not.
