Not going to argue the DV and sports link. It's very well documented. And considering United has one of the biggest fanbases in the world, YES you are likely minimizing DV in the world if United does well.
I mean just consider this chat group. Would any of you be talking about Domestic Abuse if Greenwood was gone? Probably not. The fact that he's still here drives a conversation because of what happened. And I'm glad because I think awareness and perspective is what helps improve communities with complex issues like this.
I don't care about empty gestures like let's get rid of this person because they did something horrible. Might sound great in your heads, but running away doesn't solve any problems. Instead we should hold people accountable and make them learn from their mistakes. It's harder and makes everyone uncomfortable but I strongly believe it leads to better outcomes. There is no other way to hold him accountable since the courts acquitted him. So consider what you're proposing. Let him move somewhere else and hide away from what he did.
By no means is having him return mean that you are okay with what he's done. People only think 1 thing can be true at a time and that's just a limitation of how you choose to think and perceive the world. Hold him accountable, raise awareness for domestic violence, and stop sucking at football. Why not do all?
Using the DV and sports link means nothing in this scenario as Greenwood is a) no guarantee to make us any more successful and b) is an alleged DV abuser himself, so you're not taking into account what impact that has, because that's not what the studies you're referring to do.
What a nonsense point this paragraph is. He doesn't drive any conversation, he doesn't even admit to doing anything, so how is someone advancing the discourse there?
What is "empty" about someone losing their job for doing something shit? Losing their job is making them accountable? It's a quite obvious way to show we don't approve of his alleged behaviour. Actually consider what accountable means, instead of saying empty words yourself.
All three of those things can happen if we move him on. Accountable - no longer gets to play for United as a result of his actions, raise awareness for DV - already done and our actions show allyship that even talented players face some consequences of their actions, stop sucking at football - as an academy product, all his transfer fee is deemed as profit and will help us improve the squad.
Also feck off with you're condescension of "that's just a limitation of how you chose to think and perceive the world". You've not even correctly used a study to back your point up, so maybe that's a limitation on how you chose to think?
