Seven Australian rugby league players from the <\/span>Manly Warringah Sea<\/span> Eagles<\/span> committed to boycotting a crucial match after their team announced they would wear a rainbow-themed LGBT jersey to show support for \u2018inclusivity and diversity.<\/p>\n

The Manly Warringah Sea Eagles made headlines last week when they announced they would be the first team in Australia\u2019s National Rugby League (NRL) to wear pride shirts to promote the LGBT agenda.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cManly Warringah Sea Eagles will proudly wear a rainbow-detailed jersey to celebrate inclusiveness during our Round 20 game against the Roosters at 4 Pines Park,\u201d the team said in a statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Sea Eagles have today unveiled their \u2018Everyone in League\u2019 jersey, a collaboration with Dynasty Sport. The jersey will be worn against the Sydney Roosters at 4 Pines Park on Thursday, July 28,\u201d the team added.<\/p>\n

\u201cSport is one of those great things where people come together from all walks of life and participate in something without exclusion. This jersey is a celebration of that and the first of its kind in the NRL,\u2019\u2019 said Tyler Rakich, Founder\/Director of Dynasty Sport.<\/p>\n

According to various reports, the players were not consulted before the decision was made. As a result, several players refused to wear the team\u2019s pride shirt because it goes against their religious beliefs and cultural differences.<\/p>\n

The seven players were Josh Aloiai, Jason Saab, Christian Tuipulotu, Josh Schuster, Haumole Olakau\u2019atu, Tolutau Koula, and Toafofoa Sipley.<\/p>\n

Players Sean Keppie, Kieran Foran, and Reuben Garrick were the three players who modeled it for the promotional campaign.<\/p>\n

More from Daily Mail<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Manly Warringah Sea Eagles, based north of\u00a0Sydney<\/a>, unveiled the strip \u2013\u00a0which features rainbow piping on the neck, sleeves and around the sponsor logo \u2013 yesterday morning, saying it showed support for \u2018inclusivity and diversity\u2019.<\/p>\n

But just hours later club bosses were forced to call a crisis meeting with players who said they would refuse to wear the top on \u2018religious and cultural grounds\u2019, having failed to consult them on the decision ahead of time.<\/p>\n

Now, what was meant to be a symbol of togetherness has instead become one of division as an openly gay club legend, league bosses, radio presenters, and even the Prime Minister have been dragged into a vicious debate overshadowing the sport.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile Manly faces calling up reserve players for Thursday night\u2019s game that could prove crucial for their chances of winning the league, after owner Scott Penn categorically ruled out dropping the strip.<\/p>\n

Captain Daly Cherry-Evans and Manly Coach Des Hasler during the press conference<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Manly Coach Des Hasler and Captain Daly Cherry-Evans addressed the media<\/a> on Tuesday and apologized for the \u201cmismanagement\u201d of the pride jersey release, per CNN<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe intent of the rainbow color application of our jersey was to represent diversity and inclusion \u2026 embracing all groups who feel marginalized, face discrimination and have a suppressed share of voice,\u201d Hasler said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe jersey\u2019s intent was to support the advocacy and human rights pertaining to gender, race, culture, ability and LGBTQ movements. Sadly, the execution of what was intended to be an extremely important initiative was poor. There was little consultation or collaboration between key stakeholders, both inside and outside the club.<\/p>\n

\u201cSadly, this poor mismanagement has caused significant confusion, discomfort and pain for many people. We have even adversely affected our playing group, a wonderful group of people comprising of many different races and cultural backgrounds.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wish to sincerely apologize for the mistakes we have made. We wish to apologize to the minority groups within the community who embrace the rainbow colors as a symbol of pride in who they are and what they stand for.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wish to apologize to the LGBTQ community who embrace the rainbow color for pride and advocacy and human rights issues. We accept your cultural beliefs and hope that you can accept our apology.\u201d<\/p>\n
