Israel Folau reaches settlement with Rugby Australia
from BBC News:
Rugby player Israel Folau has reached a settlement with Rugby Australia (RA) over his controversial sacking for writing anti-gay posts on social media.
The former Wallabies star had been suing RA for A$14m (£7.4m; $9.5m) after having his contract terminated in May.
Folau, a Christian, argued that the termination of his contract was a case of religious discrimination.
The parties had settled for a confidential amount, according to a joint statement on Wednesday.
Folau was sacked for saying “hell awaits” gay people, after previously being warned over his social media posts.
