Personally I tend to agree with the former Police officer who appears to be backing the hiring of Chad Evans at Oldham.
The main thrust of the opposition seems to be about footballers being role models, and a convicted rapist should not be allowed the "privileged" life of a footballer.
I really don't find these arguments very convincing. I'm sure those of you In the UK have seen this one rumbling on for a while, initially at Sheffield where his former club chose not to take him on after some serious up swell of public opinion against it as well as some high profile names speaking out.
It's somewhat of a tricky ethical question, so I can understand some feeling against him, but I think it's turned into an unfair witch hunt. As a society we give people another chance and an opportunity for rehabilitation and redemption, why do you think Chad Evans is being made an exception, just because he plays football?
Another aspect is that he still maintains that he was not guilty of rape, which also seems to be a major stumbling block in this.
Any thoughts on the whole situation, are you one of those that doesn't believe he should be allowed back to continue his chosen career ?
