People just don't understand what "second chance" means. Second chances are effective only if the person is punished for the original crime because punishment serves as a deterrent, reinforces accountability, and emphasizes the seriousness of the offense. Without consequences, there's no motivation for genuine change or understanding of the wrongdoing, which undermines the potential for reform and increases the risk of repeated offenses. Greenwood has not been punished. Playing for a top division la liga or ligue 1 side for more money than anyone of us will ever make instead of playing for man united is not a punishment, it's just man u moving him away so he can stop being their problem

I'm a fan of Marseille, born and raised. I love this club more than most of things and I have accepted a lot of shit out of love for this team. Greenwood is the line which has been crossed. I refuse to watch my team while he's still working for my club, even as a janitor. But I'm the bad guy in social medias about the club (official or just fanclubs) for saying that, despite charges being dropped, he has done it. People say "but his gf forgave him / everybody makes mistakes". But tax fraud and domestic violences aren't the same kind of mistakes. Besides, whenever I asked if they heard the audios, nothing. That's the main problem : people haven't heard the audio. This is the key difference between him and other players which have been accused of crimes : proofs are available for everyone to see. Otherwise, I will never tell someone's guilty based on accusations without proofs. Which are important. When I see the amount of publications about him from Romano, I suspect that Greenwood paid him.

Also in the past 2 years, he has been even more rampant with taking quotes from press conferences or interviews and posting them in a way that it sounds like he got that information from the person.

I think fans have a right to be upset about him coming to their club, i would be too. But the key thing is that these clubs are businesses, and he isn't a convicted criminal. He may be a disgusting human being but the opportunity that he represents for a club like Getafe or OM is immense, especially in France where clubs are poor as. This is in no way justification, I'm just saying it shouldn't surprise you that he has ended up at OM and may one day play for an even bigger club, there's 0 legal basis to say he shouldn't and that's the only thing businesses consider, business. If United could've kept him without protests they would've. So good on the fans for making noise, that is their role. I also wouldn't say it is being swept under the rug, nobody is unaware of it and nobody will forget it, he will be booed everywhere he goes including at home. The fact that clubs are willing to sign a player with 0 legal problems but several PR problems isn't it being swept under the rug, they've been dragged through the mud for it and their own PR will take a hit. Ie, there's no reason for Mason to be excluded from football, he isn't a criminal.

You gotta understand that what Greenwood did wasn't as relevant outside of the UK. It has been pretty normal for the last 2 3 weeks to see posts about a new signing that's scoring goal on goal. Secondly Greenwood has been followed by a hole bunch of clubs this summer so it represented a big chunk of Romano's work so it's pretty normal to see him on his profile so frequently.

A lot of ppl are saying: "well shouldnt he get to have a job, the woman forgave him so we should too?" They're partially right. He should be able to work and should be able to earn the public's forgiveness. The problem is that he's done nothing to do that. He's not apologized, condemned his own actions, or done anything to merit public forgiveness. Gifting him a cushy job where he makes millions and is a famous celebrity is vile, and sends a message that r*pe is ok and has no negative consequences (especially if you're famous and wealthy). Is that the message we want to convey to young men and women? Is that moral and just? Of course not.

It’s refreshing to see him cover a player regardless of all the off the field controversy and politics which you Alfie seem to care a lot about.

Once upon a time peoples hideous real personalities and feeling were kept very close to their chests for fear of being attacks however due to social media powerful people have realised that they don't need to hide terrible shit because, surprise surprise, there is so many people out there that share the same terrible shit they do.

I'm glad someone with a relatively large platform is talking about this. Its not just Fabrizio either. A lot of the legacy media (namely Britains' favourite toilet paper The S*n) have been milking the Greenwood situation for every penny they can grab. It's disgusting. I'm frankly ashamed that our legal system allows a man that the whole country knows is a r*pist to not only walk free, but go and earn tens of thousands a week playing football. I have at least noticed public perception has been pretty unilaterally against him, though it was a little worrying how quick people were to defend him at first without listening to the recordings. It does seem like everyone has caught up now, thankfully, and I've seen 0 support for him ever playing on these shores again for quite a while. Truth be told it's probably not safe for him to do so. Someone would invade the pitch and attack him, and frankly, I'd shed no tears over it if they did.
