Because rape is a crime that disgusts me to my very core, it's an easy knee-jerk reaction to acquiesce and agree to what Jean Hatchett and those behind the 'Don't let Ched Evans Play Again' petition are proposing. I love democracy and justice however and if there is any issues here then it is not whether Ched Evans should be allowed to continue his job. That is a given right for me. It's more to do with whether a 5.5 year sentence and the time he actually served, is fitting punishment for the crime. More than that though, it is the idea that Evans may be regarded as a hero and role-model, that needs addressing. I'm not holding my breath though. That would need parents to spend more time with their kids, teaching them better life choices, showing them that a real role model is someone who pulls down a wage, puts their family first, takes time to understand the world their kids are growing up in, guides them right so that maybe when they are cut loose into the world they're not going to be fuck ups and they're not going to have received information that it's okay to treat women like sh1t. Of course, that takes a bit more effort than signing a petition.
