Only man standing: Controversial rugby star Israel Folau, who was sacked by Australia for saying 'hell awaits' gay people, REFUSES to take a knee as players and referee honour Black Lives Matter in first Super League game since lockdown
III Israel Folau refused to take a knee (pictured left) before Catalans Dragons' Super League game against St Helens on Sunday. Players from both teams marked the return of rugby league behind-closed-doors at Headingley by taking a stance against racism, as they joined referee Ben Thaler in dropping to one knee for a few seconds in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. Folau (pictured in action during the game, bottom right), 31, was sacked from his Rugby Australia contract last year for his homophobic views and Catalans' decision to sign him led to widespread opposition.

Blogger: ISRAEL DOES NOT HAVE HOMOPHOBIC VIEWS! HE LOVES HOMOSEXUALS ENOUGH TO WARN THEM ABOUT UNREPENTED SIN. GOD BLESS HIM!
