For the people who think that in 2022 being gay means nothing & everyone is making a big deal about a non issue - I'm Australian, just last week one of our rugby league teams wore a jersey that had rainbow stripes on it around the torso & each sleeve to support inclusiveness in the game & 7 of 13 players refused to play because of their religious beliefs. One of their major sponsors is an alcohol company & a gambling company sponsors the game but THAT doesn't stop them from playing just rainbows
I saw that they were trying to turn that around and say that it was only that those players were upset they weren’t consulted before the rainbow jerseys were made. Of course, that obviously makes no sense because the players who weren’t evangelical Christians weren’t consulted either, and they had no problem with it. 🙄🙄🙄

Ian Roberts played professional rugby in Australia between 1986 and 1998. In recognition of his efforts he was awarded the Australian Sports Medal for his contribution to Australia's international standing in rugby league. Roberts served on the National Rugby League's judiciary between 2000s and in 2004. And in 2005, he was named one of the 25 greatest ever New South Wales players. Roberts revealed in 2014 that he has suffered from brain damage after being knocked out up to a dozen times in his playing career.
Tumblr media
In 1995 Roberts became the first high-profile Australian sports person and first rugby footballer in the world to come out to the public as gay. He afterwards he said,
“(It) was the worst kept secret in the rugby league. Even when I was at Souths, everyone knew I was gay.”
Adding:
“I have been ‘out’ privately since I was 19 or 20. I was always comfortable growing up being gay. (But) I wish I’d come out earlier… I always felt like I was protecting my family, but you can’t protect people from being who you are.”
But it wasn’t until 2021 that he revealed the negative impact of coming out. He overheard fellow teammates they were I uncomfortable rooming with him because he’s a faggot. He also received mail saying, “AIDS will finish you in hell. SODOMIST.”
The same year while exiting the field during halftime, a spectator assaulted him - punching Roberts in the face and calling him a “faggot”.
But Roberts used his new found fame to campaign against homophobia. He discussed his sexuality in magazines and on television and appeared in a poster campaign against homophobia conducted by the Lesbian and Gay Anti-Violence Project.
In 2010, Roberts publicly criticised Australian swimming star Stephanie Rice for calling the South African rugby union team "faggots" - calling her "a complete idiot".
Like other athletes who come out as gay, Roberts posed nude, included appearing on the of “(not only) Blue” Magazine in 2001.

In 1998 Roberts decided to pursue acting professional and move to the US in 2003 to increase his opportunities. His credits include appeared in:
Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones (2002) as a bartender
Dancing with the Stars (2005) - Roberts competed in the Australian edition of the show placing second
Superman Returns (2006) as one of Luthor’s henchmen
Saltwater (2013) as the love interest in a gay romance
Fantasy Island (2020) as a character called Mr. Torture
Perhaps one of Roberts’ proudest moments occurred in 2017. He made a personal plea to the Australia’s National Rugby League to support legislation allowing same-sex marriage. He’s effort convinced them - and the NRL publicly announce their stance. He was motivated after learning about the death of Tyrone Unsworth, a 13 year old boy who died after being bullied at school.
“That's what triggered me into doing this. His passing will not be in vain.”
Roberts has been with his partner Daniel for 15 years.

AUSTRALIA???????????????????????????????????????
I WISH I KNEW ANON!
Like I knew there were whispers of Dave Rennie going and I knew there were some whispers before Eddie Jones got sacked that he might coach Australia but I didn't actually believe that they would take him? It's not like his England contract came to a natural end. The team fired him less than a year out from the World Cup which you think would say something.
OH AND IT'S A CONTRACT UNTIL 2027 APPARENTLY

not only is theon a mullet guy but he’s the type of guy to bleach it and give it racing stripes like the high school boys who all box bleach their hair a horrible orange for their hockey playoffs in which they probably get eliminated immediately
he's SUCH a mullet guy but when asha gets one and pulls it off WAYYY better than him he swears them off entirely and gets soooo bitchy when people mention it. god he'd sooo go through a platinum blonde era. that fucking whore....

I just still don't understand why Eddie Jones would go and chat that much before a match against the All Blacks when they lost their last two matches? Like I know you have to believe in your team and have faith they can win but he was just delusional
