Would You Accept A Rapist Playing For City?

[Tim of the Oak]

I just wonder if all those saying 'no' would also say no to an ex-prisoner of war with five medals for fighting against your forces?

That's the worst comparison I've ever seen.

Agreed!

As a footballclub you must wonder bringing in such a player what is the influence to the club, the players and their families, and the fans. A footballclub is sort of owned by the public and therefore I would say no if it was concerning my club. If it was another branch other than football or sports, I'd say 'why not for the chance of starting a new life'.

For those saying yes because "he's served his time" etc - Won't Chad be released "on licence" until the end of his sentence -(Not sure if that's correct but most rapists released early are "on licence" until the end of their actual sentence) - If that is the case then technically Chad is still serving 2½ years of his 5 year sentence but "on licence" - just a thought

It has to be no from me.
What sort of a role model would that be for the youngsters and what sort of message would the club be sending out by having a known rapist on the pay..
There are somethings that can not just be erased as a result of doing time. Rape is definitely one of them imho.

Maybe football is the ideal job for a convicted rapist? - good outlet for pent up energy and no female colleagues.

Why don't you start a thread on the subject and gauge opinion?

Because like any contentious thread it would just attract the nutters from both sides of the argument and would likely end in tears, fights, bans, warnings, and no good would come of it.

As bluemoon historians may know, we have "previous". You slagged off one of my posts, called it stupid, then refused to apologise when I was proved right. This post however, is beyond stupid. You are equating a soldier with a rapist ! ! Words fail me. Which I can assure you, is a f@@kin rarity ! Dear me !

Really?

So you're not small minded little bigots then?

The comparison seems there to me

Personally, I feel deep embarrassment when one of our players dives. Rapists ? No ta ! Marlon king ? No ta. Bank robber ? No ta. Wayne Rooney ? No ta. Not sure he's actually a criminal. I just hate him.

Can one of you other "moderators" please confiscate his shovel ? Quickly ?
