This football player, still playing????

[PosieParker]

www.coventrycity-mad.co.uk/news/tmnw/marlon_king__no_thanks_551591/index.shtml I was delighted to hear an older man on the radio last night saying that he's never going to watch Coventry City play again, if they show such a disregard to this man's victims....

But Posie, that's impossible. Don't you know that an allegation of rape or assault is a terrible burden that a man can never shake off and will follow him through the years, ruining his career and blighting his fortunes?

Oh no. A proven assault (amongst other crimes) is apparently no barrier to fame, fortune and riches.

Funny that.

I'm just shocked, but thoroughly moved by the older man who was so disgusted and appalled by the decision.

It's amazing isn't it, how we're so happy and moved by the occasional man who stands up to be counted and doesn't assume that giving a toss about things like this is "women's work".

Shows how rare it is.

They need to teach this kind of thing in schools - respecting others, unacceptability of certain behaviours etc.

Yes, my reaction is as telling as his!
