If only Ched had crystal balls.
Organisations withdrawing sponsorship? Wouldn't it be interesting to find their own history on employing people with a criminal record? They simply don't want to be associated with a club playing that kind of man .......... because they are afraid of the effect on their precious brand. Do you think they really give a hoot for women's rights, don't operate a glass ceiling, and don't behave appallingly at every office party? OOOH look their managing director is a man, blow me down with a ******* feather.
The last thing I wanted was for us to sign Ched Evans, but we have. Campaign by all means, that might make a difference, if not this time perhaps another, but staying away will only work as a mass-campaign. Otherwise it is just self-indulgence. As for firms seeking the tax-breaks of sponsorship squirming towards the moral high-ground to wrap their brand in by withdrawing ..... forgive me for wondering how shiny-bright they are themselves.
At some point Ched Evans has to be able to return to his life like any other criminal, but at the moment he is not even a criminal! Our sponsor has withdrawn because we employ an innocent man they don't like. Let's hope we don't sign Ant and Dec.
