Would You Accept A Rapist Playing For City?

The question should be. Would being a convicted rapist having any bearing on playing football?

If you suggest that it would, then how?

As many have pointed out if you've served your time in jail and have been let out. What happens next? It makes no sense to prevent from playing football because past convictions. You may not like him, and what he's done is wrong. But banning him from football would require a change in the law and set a precedent for other ex-offenders guilty of other crimes.

Besides, this isn't City's problem, or mine or anyone on this forum... Yet's leave it and get back to looking forward (getting nervous again) to the lads starting the season tomorrow at Newcastle.

Frankly, no - I wouldn't want a convicted rapist playing for my club, but then how far do you take any personal stand?
I wouldn't particularly want a racist or a wife beater either, but we've probably had both over the years, only we never knew.
I defo wouldn't want a racist rapist wife-beater. That'd be some serious shit right there.
 
He's a convicted rapist but once he's served his sentence he should be allowed to get on with his life. Lee Hughes killed a man and he managed to get on with his life and play football again.

I must admit I thought he was scum but if you actually read his website it does seem like it's not as clear cut as it seems and it does seem he was unlucky.

Although of course a website with the headline of "ched Evans was wrongly convicted or rape" is not going to be I partial!

On an unrelated subject his girlfriend is really fit so I do wonder why he decided to go a raping anyway!

I cant understand women like her. It probably wasn't the first time he cheated and wont be the last.
 
Has anyone on here actually followed the case from start to finish?

The main reason his girlfriend, family and friends inside and outside of the football community have stuck with him is because the case was a farce from start to finish. Hes been made an example out of, when the details of what happened are sketchy. Girl on night out, wakes up next morning, wants to make money!

If he still played for us and Pearce was the boss then yes, i'd accept him. We put up with Joey Barton for long enough and hes done things far worse that arent even up for debate.

What did Barton do that's worse than rape?

And you can truly get to fuck with putting the blame on the victim.

As for the bit in bold, that makes no fucking sense.
 
Ched Evans has served his time and taken his punishment and is entitled to continue his career , I can understand any person with a position of authority would not be able to resume their employment , but hes a footballer , not a member of parliament and if he did somehow turn into the next lionel messi and knocked in 30 goals a season for us , I would probably be able turn a blind eye to his previous misdemeanors , (and some people say football supporters are fickle :-)

You should have a read of the website.

Obviously it's very one sided but it does seem like there are some circumstances that mean he may have been hard done by.

No one can defend rape but the courts are not the most reliable and mistakes do happen.

You don't blame rape victims,if she wanted money to keep quiet she would have blackmailed him,she didn't,he was convicted end of
As for having a convicted rapist in the team,how do you think the many female fans would feel?even if it was messi i would say no

If you read the site it appears she was tweeting about how she was going to buy minis with the money she would make out of this. She does appear to be a rather unpleasant person.

So what you're saying is that all female football fans believe that once someone has served his time for a crime he should never be allowed to live his life and should be punished forever.

What do you want ched to do for the rest of his life? Sign on at the dole office?

You're not a we.

You may not accept him but many people who believe in the rehabilitation Into society of people who have committed crimes would accept him.

As mentioned on here that keeper who killed two kids is now back playing football and has been made captain of Plymouth!

That's not a justification. If you'd feel comfortable with our club employing a rapist, that's your view. I'd be surprised if the majority agreed with you.

I am giving my answer to the question and that is no and i'm not going to change my mind

None of us were at court so that website means fuck all.

The police investigated, CPS said there was enough to charge him, a trial at court took place, Ched Evans was found guilty.
