Folau the leader? Online armies show way to stop game in its tracks – Sydney Morning Herald
You would say this was league’s GameStop moment, except that it’s not a new thing in sport for the public to orchestrate emotions effectively enough to change policy….
Its not that Vlandys staked his reputation on keeping Folau out of the league. His predecessor Peter Beattie did that. But Vlandys self-identification, as a Greek boy teased in the playground with gay kids bullied by homophobes, is a powerful component of the league chairmans personal brand. How could he wind that back if Folau were let in? What damage would a turnaround do to Vlandys image as a strongman? Better that an avalanche of public revulsion for Folau take the matter out of Vlandys hands.
