Such nonsense, Faz!
No, Folau hasn’t been silenced, but that is only because he is courageous and committed. What Mel wrote was quite correct as a statement of the intent of the forces ranged against Folau. Their attitude is truly a determination to hound him into silence; he just isn’t giving in, that’s all.
His views on sin should have nothing to do with sporting organisations, transport companies, or any other of your champions, since his views were not in any way linked with these. He aired his warnings on personal social media, and sporting organisations, transport companies and you should just butt out.
Your final sentence is disingenuous in the extreme – “speaking his truth” has cost him his means of livelihood, his favourite sport and the opportunity to represent his country. Don’t misrepresent that as freedom to speak.
