English law doesn’t say you have to play him.

And even in the Mendy situation the worst thing that happened was they had to pay him.

Arsenal  Baylor’d it. It’s really that simple.

oh yeah, didn’t tottneham sign yves bissouma while he was under investigation for sexual assault? yes, yes i believe they did. which means he was still playing at brighton while under investigation for sexual assault. where was the outrage then? where were the rabid dogs bumping this thread on their high horses? what happened? 

Fuck them too. This isn’t that hard. 
United found a way to suspend Greenwood. City did the same with Mendy. But let’s pretend that the law is so difficult for these clubs to navigate. w

What’s the law that says Arsenal had to play someone, feature him on socials, that they knew was a rapist? 
No one is blaming fans so you can quit pretending that’s happening. Maybe people just don’t understand why there’s so many excuses being made for the club completely failing.

And them getting sued mattered how? They had to pay 8 million pounds. I’m sure that really broke their budget. United didn’t get sued so it must not be so cut and dry is it?

Yea and SOP is the whole fucking problem. Instead of actually standing for something they buried it and ignored it. They played someone they knew was credibly accused of rape. Maybe they should try rewriting the SOP if that’s what they operate with. Why is this so difficult for you?

jesus fucking christ, this is why nobody can take you seriously. this is like saying that someone who got into a fist fight with a jewish person “hitler'd it”. the two situations are so fucking far apart it’s comical. 

you are not someone to be taken seriously on this matter.

Ignored rape in favor of sports vs covered up rape in favor of sports. They aren’t that far apart. Maybe in your example Arsenal are the good Germans.

Maybe I shouldn’t be taken seriously on it. That’s not for me to say.
But I’m also not the person making excuse after excuse for why a rapist continued to play a prominent role at my club.

for those who don’t know, baylor, the school already famous for its intra-team murder scandal, went out and recruited players who they knew had already raped coeds at their previous school, unleashed their team into the BU campus where the football players were sexually assaulting and raping co-eds on a regular basis, then blamed the victims, made the victims continue to go to class with their own rapists, then kicked the rape victims out of school after their grades dropped due to trauma, then tried to cover up the literal culture of rape which permeated their program, all while employing people like art briles and kim mulkey.

comparing that ^^^ to the thomas partey situation is disgusting. actually fucking disgusting. you are gross.

I can't speak for Brighton at all. Spurs signed Bissouma in the final month of the investigation and he never played for Spurs while the investigation was ongoing.

Make no mistake, there were a lot of fans that did not like the fact that Spurs signed him. I was not aware of anything before his signing, but I was among those that wasn't happy with it when I heard about the circumstances. I was glad he was cleared.

something else that really bothers me here is that arsenal are one of two epl clubs i can name (liverpool being the other) where the entire club, from top to bottom, factually, openly, publicly makes “being a good person/club” a central focus. ...

Yet the continued to play Partey when they knew this was going on.

@Derka why don’t you answer this simple question, what SHOULD Arsenal have done?

Then compare that to what they did do and tell us all who’s gross.

 

This is my stance too. There is nothing wrong with calling out your own team for actions like this.  But wasn't he team Beard post arrest?

It wont stop at $20.   At some point, it is going to be straight up PPV for each game.   We have already unbundled nearly everything.   It will all be unbundled, and you will need a separate subscription for every team and sport you like watching.   Teams will never stop wanting new revenue streams, and it will eventually get there.

Why would this happen when leagues pool their TV rights and then pay each team equally from it? Teams already get their own revenue from things like selling preseason matches or charity events. Liverpool has its own streaming option called LFCTV Go for pre and post game breakdowns, preseason matches, and other featurettes. MLB has been the only one so far that doesn't have centralized deals for all teams. I just don't get this angst over a $3 price increase. England gets I believe only 3 matches any match day. We get all of them. I don't subscribe to USA Network but I can watch that match on OTA with Telemundo or Exitos. If it's not on there, I can find a stream.

Angst is more of an annoyance, of how we need separate apps, separate accounts, for nearly everything.  Agree, Im glad we are able to see all the matches at for what is now a reasonable price.   Done yelling at clouds.

So $20 a month to watch EPL and Champions league.   

PRO: If your team drops to the Championship you can cancel that shit.

CON: of course, you can then enjoy that season missing the first 20 minutes of every match trying to find a dodgy stream from Russian or Uzbekistan that might work for 30 minutes, hoping against hope that your tiny-screened device of choice is not infected with thousands of viruses.
