SYDNEY (AP) — Seven Manly Sea Eagles players have withdrawn from a National Rugby League match in Australia because they’re unwilling to wear their club's inclusion jersey. The jersey has rainbow stripes and a rainbow collar — in place of the regular white sections — to support LGBTQ inclusion in sports, and the club plans to use it for one game against Sydney Roosters.

“The players will not play on Thursday and we accept their decision,” Hasler said. “These young men are strong in their beliefs and convictions and we will give them the space and support they require.

    conflicts with their cultural and religious beliefs.

    I fucking hate this bullshit justification that these freaks can hide behind and the media just eats this shit up. Say you're a bigot with your full chest you fucking cowards, don't hide behind your abusive sky daddy.

      that's the most dishonest shit, you're right. I hate the one that's like "hate the sin, not the sinner" or shit like "acting on gay impulses is a choice." How about I'm queer fuck you
