The revolt by seven rugby league players in Sydney, Australia, against wearing a controversial gay pride team jersey has widened, a report claimed Tuesday.
the Sea Eagles were battling to name a team as a “handful of would-be first timers knocked back a chance to play the game” because of similar reasons to those who have stood down over being given no choice but to wear the jersey.
Former Manly player Ian Roberts, who was the first high-profile player in the code to come out as gay, said he was not surprised by the players’ decision.. “As an older gay man I’m used to this. I expected there would be some sort of religious pushback.” Players in other Australian sports previously have refused to wear jerseys with advertising or messages which conflict with their beliefs.
