A top rugby official in Fiji was fired within days of being appointed after she spoke of “this gay problem” in women’s national teams.
Laijipa Naulivou resigned as director of rugby before her appointment was cancelled by the Fiji Rugby Union to reinforce a “commitment to upholding professional standards and safeguarding the integrity of Fiji Rugby.”
The FRU added on Wednesday it “categorically rejects any form of discrimination.”
Naulivou, the first captain of the Fiji women’s team, said in an interview published by the Fiji Sun “those who played with me know that I do not condone being gay for women in rugby.”
I occasionally show up to a college alumni game and shit has changed so much.
Like, the drinking culture was out of control, but socials aren’t even really a thing anymore.
Literally the only reason I joined a team back in the day was for the parties. Good on the zoomers for not drinking as much, but it’s not like the old days.
We used to run thru 5-6 kegs on weekday nights, I was 18 years old picking up kegs from a closed liquor store at like 4am because we ran out. And carrying it blocks back the party for it to be floated in 30 minutes.
The zoomers are vaping cannabis extracts these days, no need for alcohol. Oftentimes right in public while other people think it’s a just a nicotine vape.
You heard me, kids, this millennial is on to you.
