quote:Ched Evans 'cannot go back to football' Carwyn Jones says http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-30049356 Pretty sure there are laws that say he can. Wouldn't expect an MP to know that, though. Especially with an election coming up. All these people expecting him to apologise but he legitimately can't while trying to appeal his conviction. The PFA posted:"It is a fundamental part of the justice system in this country and society in general that a person serves the punishment which the court determines is appropriate and, providing that has been done, an individual is entitled to be released to continue with his or her life." Except this isn't actually strictly true. He can't be a doctor or a teacher any more. sassassin fucked around with this message at 13:08 on Nov 14, 2014 |

St Evan Echoes posted:That's because a doctor or teacher has a duty of care in their profession, making a sex offender unsuitable for the role. A footballer doesn't have the same duty of care. He should be free to seek work and football clubs should just exercise their right to not hire a literal rapist to play for their team. Ban him from the christmas party.

Denying a person the right to work after they have served the sentence for their crime isn't exactly a great message either. It's a cornerstone of our society that prisoners can be rehabilitated and reintegrated. Mob justice baying for his blood after his release shouldn't be accepted. Neither should we (the random people) be able to dictate what jobs are and aren't allowed for ex-convicts. When there is a genuine and direct safety risk involved there are actual written laws that apply. They don't here.

Clubs should be allowed to decide whether they should hire him, but players are the public face of a football club and that is not a suitable position for a convicted rapist IMO.

Several sponsors of Sheffield United have said they'll pull their sponsorships if the club rehires him. And the Olympic gold medalist they named a stand after in 2012 has asked them to remove her name from the stand if they rehire him. It would be a PR nightmare if they took him back. Surely there are other strikers they can sign.

Sheffield United have actually showed no interest in giving him a contract, since he hasn't played any football in 2 and a half years and that would be retarded. The PFA asked them to allow Ched to use their training grounds to work himself back to fitness so that he might one day find a job in his profession, as they were his last club before he was sent to prison. They agreed as it is a reasonable request, and in line with their agreements and responsibilities to the PFA. Queue the media and sponsors going mental and trying to dictate club policy.

For what it's worth it's been rumoured among "in the knowers" that the plan was always for Evans to return when he got released and he was often visited in prison by the chairman, but the reaction since his release has far exceeded what they were expecting and they're having second thoughts. I'm on the side that we shouldn't sign him, but that would make me among the minority of Sheffield United fans from what I've seen. It's just not worth it, not only from a PR perspective but there's rumours that one or two current players have made their feelings known too. On the other hand I don't know what some of the more vocal of the anti-Evans campaigners are wanting to happen here. For him to be stopped from working ever again? He should be able to play football, just hopefully not with us.

I have no major concerns over the power and prestige of a middling league one striker. Marlon King has not had a significant impact on our culture that I have observed. Luke McCormick is captaining Plymouth with no major increase in drink driving offences recently (maybe we have to wait till christmas)

They expect the club to represent them in a way that suits their business model. Getting everyone pissy at hiring a rapist does not do this. I mean yeah Ched's a clear wanker but he's served his sentence and whether his sentence was just or not doesn't allow us to push against rehabilitation. Fans have a right to protest at what they see as a community asset being badly represented; sponsors are allowed to respond to protect their interest, and Ched has a right to train there. I don't see any of this as hypocritical. Just a bit dumb, given that they clearly aren't going to touch him with a bargepole.
