Mitchell one of many to call out Folau's greed
Drew Mitchell has taken to Twitter to criticise Israel Folau's Go fund me campaign, saying it's no longer about religion, but rather a question of greed.
Comparing Folaus's campaign to several more worthy causes on the funding platform, Mitchell highlights that Folau's 'fight' is very much of his own choosing, unlike that of several other campaigns for life-saving treatment.
Folau is asking his followers to fund legal action against Rugby Australia following his sacking for reportedly breaking the terms of his contract. Many fans are questioning why anyone would contribute to the campaign, given Folau's existing wealth.
The campaign has already raised $313k despite the conditions clearly stating that in making a contribution, users acknowledge that there will be no obligations on Israel Folau to apply the funds in any particular way with respect to his legal action.
Strange times.

I’d say France was far more hard done by in the 2011 final than the All Blacks in this game. Joubert simply refused to call a penalty against the All Blacks in the last quarter even directing an All Black to drop a ball he picked up in an offside position rather than penalizing him. This article also totally discounts the efforts of PSTD. Ask Jordie how well he played. Or the backup flank who played hooker for the entire game. Siya was also a brilliant tackle by Richie from scoring a blinder. Pollard was also fantastic. Look I don’t like the boks style but the only thing more questionable than the content of this article is the timing of it. Get over it already
