In possibly the greatest burn since the great fire of London in 1666 the Canterbury Rugby Union at the same time tried to console Israel Folau for being in a team that lost an unloseable game and ridicule his homophobic beliefs.
The context was that in their recent game Folau’s team the Warratahs had burst out to a 29-0 lead over home team the Canterbury Crusaders but then in an unbelievable choke managed to lose the game 31-29.
Folau has attracted unfortunate attention for publicly expressing homophobic beliefs publicly twice in recent times.
Some dagg who had control of the speaker system played Village People’s LGBT anthem YMCA during a break in the final minute of the game when the Crusaders had magically regained the lead.
If you have been living in a time warp for the past 40 years here it is.
Oh to have seen Folau’s face when this happened.
Twitter had fun.
