I don't believe in the concept of hate speech. Hateful speech is bad, but I don't think 'hate speech' should be a thing. You could actually call it love speech as the rugby player loves these people so much that he wants them to repent and see the error in their ways.
I don't think it's wrong to suspend or release that player. Having religious beliefs is one thing and it's perfectly fine, but posting something that in your face is just asking to get in trouble.
I didn't see an attempt at comedy by the rugby player. Maybe I just missed that part, but I just saw a facebook post by him that looked completely serious. When it does come to comedy however, nothing is off the table imo. Anything goes. I'm bisexual myself and I have a good laugh when Steven Crowder makes fun of the lispy queer from Vox. The guy from Vox said he identifies as a lispy queer, so Crowder is just using the exact words the man uses to describe himself, and Crowder is making fun more of the lispyness than the homosexuality of the man. The self proclaimed lispy queer was trying to take down other channels on youtube, and that's why he was really targeted with these jokes. Not because he's gay.
It all depends on the individual and what kind of comedy you can stomach. If a certain comedian goes too far for you, quit watching them. It's as simple as that. Below is a video of classic Opie and Anthony, playing the Jonestown tapes, and laughing and making jokes while in the background you can hear the cries of the children who drank the coolaid or are being forced by their parents to drink the coolaid. A lot of people I'm sure couldn't handle this type of comedy, but I can, so I watch/ listen.
