Re Ched Evans. Sheffield United coming in to my children’s school AIBU to be concerned.

Just been told Sheffield United’s outreach team are going to start coming into my DCs school to teach football during compulsory PE lessons. I’m feeling a little bit concerned about this. Even if Ched Evans was innocent (which personally I don’t believe) he and the other men who were with him that night treated a young woman in a way which I find absolutely morally repugnant. Evans is now back at United after a period with Chesterfield, so they chose to take him back despite knowing this. Even the recent rugby case when they were cleared they sacked them because they’d still behaved disgracefully. Should I mention this to the head? I’m not really sure I want an organisation which seems to endorse this kind of behaviour being in a position of influence on my children. It’s saying to young boys it’s okay to behave like that and young girls it’s okay to be treated like that. Evans himself won’t be involved as far as I know. But I’m just really uneasy with an organisation with those values having access to kids. I’m unsure if this would make me look like a dick or be a reasonable course of action.

Morning all and thank you for the reports. Unfortunately, we think there's too much speculation on this thread for it to continue.
