Yebbut you're a nerd.

We are not talking about IT or similar projects here but day to day business and marketing decisions, a lot of which are based on what it would look like (or at least what their focus groups/PR think it would look like) to their target market.

As a side note I am amazed the Prince model is still around. I must have last used it 30+ years ago when I was a nerd.

I used to use the Prince Andrew version...it was no-sweat back then....

A frenzy is when you label someone an abuser without any evidence.

Why are you claiming there's no evidence, when there's a fuckton of evidence?

If there is as you say a "farkton" of evidence why has no prosecution taken place, and why did the club find no wrongdoing?

Srsly? What's with the doubling down on a demonstrable falsehood? Are you trying to be more like Spen? If you think that clubs / sports authorities should not take a position on a player's behaviour towards women unless they are convicted of a criminal offence, then that's a position I can recognize, however much I disagree with it. It's not necessary to pretend that a woman saying 'he did this to me', posting photos of what she says he did, and a recording of a man abusing a woman, is not evidence. That's both idiotic and offensive.

So you're saying that the Police are idiots now?

Some want definitions, others meanings.

Sarina Weigman rightly wins the women's coach of the year award, and dedicates the award to the Spanish team, whilst calling out the problems the game faces. Great stuff!

And in other news, Getafe have taken Greenwood on loan. Given everything surrounding Spanish football just now this seems a little unwise.

Quite the reverse, Greenwood will feel right at home among like-minded individuals.

I agree.

Still, the spotlight will, I hope, lead to change. The situation reminds me of the racism exposed at various cricket clubs in England. The more people who speak out, the better.

 

[AndyRM]

Well, the coach has been sacked:

And there were obviously issues there, but I am a bit surprised that he was the first to be given the boot.

Uuurggh,
What a pair.

I'm not a massive follower of the football
(slight understatement there) but lots of stuff about all this has come up on soc med over the last couple of weeks.

With so many guys outing themselves as nasty, sexist, boundary crossers, who either don't, or more likely refuse to get concepts like consent and abuse of power..
It's like #metoo never happened for them - well I guess it didn't really.

But cheeringly at the same time, many other guys do seem to get it, and are speaking up.

However rather depressingly the number of women online diminishing and whataboutering the incident, is not small neither. 😕

Hmmn so progress of a sort - perhaps 🤔
