@coffee

Snap!

On another note I wonder do sports players going into schools to promote their game have to have DBS checks done? Does anyone know?

here it is

The Irish Times is now reporting Sale Sharks are denying they are signing them. I'll try to find a link

FermatsTheorem · 02/05/2018 17:03

One where they weren't held up as role models for children, Pan. My son plays rugby and football - I never want to see him in a position where he's cheering on teams containing PJ and his mates, or Ched Evans. I don't want to be in a position where I have to explain to him that he can't have a shirt with a certain player's name on (admittedly I won't throw good money away on printing player's names... but you get the picture). I don't want to see his female team mates (still mixed in his age group) going on courses run by our local premiership rugby team and having men like that around them.

PanGalaticGargleBlaster · 02/05/2018 17:00

Just curious, what employment, if any, would you be happy for these men to enter into?

FermatsTheorem · 02/05/2018 16:51

The Telegraph has an article about this - seems the manager of Sale Sharks specialises in reforming problem players - which (when you look at the numbers on the transfers) seems to translate as "is prepared to take any skidmark on the face of humanity provided they can play rugby and he can get a really cheap deal on them."

Oops that link didn't work

A man has started a petition to sto them going to sale.www.change.org/p/georgina-ragan-salesharks-com-sale-sharks-don-t-sign-paddy-jackson-stuart-olding

Ugh, I used to live in Manchester near Sale & friend works for Women's aid there. Disappointing & I find it a bit odd that they're going as a pair.

GrainneWail · 02/05/2018 16:17

I saw a report this morning that PJ will be on €220k, down 50k from Ulster but clearly not the breadline Hmm Irish Times

Totallymyownperson · 02/05/2018 14:30

Sale sharks are in Cheshire. I doubt the women of Cheshire care much as they already put up with footballing misogynistic twats

Step · 02/05/2018 14:25

Wonder how the women of Manchester feel about this! I wonder how Sale supporters feel about this...

If I was them I'd not be a happy bunny.

Danny Cipriani gets paid £310k by Sale - he is their top paid player. There is a cap on academy players getting more then £100k in the Aviva premiership. An old article from a few years back says the average premiership Rugby player makes £81k a year. So who knows? Just hate to think they will still be raking money in and being feted.

I would be astonished if they were earning anywhere close to what they were on before.

Totallymyownperson · 02/05/2018 12:52

That disgusting that any club still wants them. And they want both.

Glad BBC won its case.

kikashi · 02/05/2018 12:20

Will they be on large salaries (200 + etc like some of the players in premiership) ? I'm surprised an English team would have them (sort of)

eloisesparkle · 02/05/2018 07:18

Apparently PJ is off to Sale Sharks with SO set to follow.

More women referring themselves to Nexus ( a charity that supports victims of sexual abuse/attack/rape) but they now have a waiting list of 700 women needing various levels of counselling and no way to provide that support in a timely manner.

@gluteustothemaximus didn't hear about this. I'm so fucking sick of all this abuse towards women. Every day it's something else. In Ireland a recent case were girls were raped several times by the son of their foster parents. Even when they told their biological mother and it was looked into they were sent back to the same family!!

What the actual fuck is going on??

Then all this shite about these Incel fuckers who seem like sad assholes.

Where does it end?

TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross · 27/04/2018 06:58

thebewilderness - Terry Crews has been speaking out about that very attitude. Video here

thebewilderness · 27/04/2018 02:17

Most men and boys will say right out loud that that is what girls and women are for.

gluteustothemaximus · 26/04/2018 23:59

Have you been reading about the gang rape in Spain? A young 18 year old, raped by 5 men. They filmed it. The lawyer for the men said she didn’t resist, therefore the men felt they had consent 😡

They are going to prison, but not for rape, but sexual abuse. Protests have started.

What with that and Bill Cosby.

Fucking sick of the sexual violence against women. We have had enough. And if we’re all special snowflakes, bring on the fucking avalanche.
