In Defence of Footballers

In Defence of Footballers

In the media at the moment, it seems there are two prevailing views regarding sexual assault and footballers: either footy players are a horrid bunch of men, who see themself as gods, have no self-control and get themselves into all sorts of trouble; either that or that the footballers aren’t to blame, they’re just blokes having a good time at bars and nightclubs, and if women don’t want to be assaulted, they should avoid such places and or be less provocative.

Now, if I may, I would like to disagree vehemently with both of these positions.
