Why Has This Case Not Been So Widely Reported As Those Other Recent Footballer's Sex Crimes Cases Were?

Mail, Sun, Mirror and Daily Star as far as I can find.

I am sure that if I am wrong someone will soon be along with the evidence.

Because they are lower profile footballers, not much time in the preniership, not such big news.

Ched Evans was a current player.

Un this case:
-Not yet found guilty (or otherwise)
-Ex footballer- not been a professional for 4 years
- I doubt many have heard of him

[anotheoldgit]

Ah! so just another rape just another day eh?

[fiction-factory]

No-one said that. Have you posted about all the other rape cases this year- by footballers, ex footballers and others. Maybe you feel their colour is a factor?

[Mamyalynne]

You'd need someone from the Press to give you a precise reason, should all such cases receive equal coverage everyday?

The papers would be weighty indedd, that's a sadness of course.

I'm happy to let the law take its course whether I've heard of those involved or not.

^ indeed

[Gromit]

I have never heard of Kerrea Gilbert.

So yes, it is just another rape. One of 100,000 every year.
Why AOG and the Daily Mail have single out this particular (alleged) rape by a big dangling black fellow, is a mystery.

[chelle7272]

AOG it's the media who decide how newsworthy it is, not me

[-Talbot-]

Is it cos he is black?

(There's a best answer if ever I have seen one)

[Baldric]

I dunno, it's a mystery innit?

/// rape by a big dangling black fellow, is a mystery. ///

Be careful Gromit weren't some football crowd recently taken to task for including a similar stereotype description in their chant.

[andy-hughes]

I have no idea why AOG - but I can see you are going to make race an issue on this thread - by any means possible.

So - no change there ...

[sp1814]

Quelle surprise.

[sp1814]

AOG

You’ve embarrassed yourself on this thread.

Do you want me to ask The AB Editor to delete it, or will you quietly do so tomorrow?

Seriously, it was a mistake to post this, because in future whenever you accuse someone of playing the race card, all everyone else need do is link back to this bizarre little missive.

Bad move.

Oh Sp ! spare this thread !

no censorship ! - look at your fave Pres Trump - free speech so long as you say nice things but as you do something he doesnt like - kneeling instead of standing etc - it is all 'fire him and chop his hands off!'

and yeah I agree - why isnt a black footballer being hauled over the coals like they usually are ? Dim question ....
hey OAG - dja think it is because he is muslim ? - or that he isnt ?

hey Sp didja see that did you see that Likes-alot-ofit - the university challenge perfomer was acquitted of rope ? Shoulda kept his hands in a reference book where they belong the dirty little sad !

Sometimes I understand your posts.

This is not one of those times.

[Mamyalynne]

I fear even I can't help this time.

What great fun to see Black Narcissus set upon by possibly the only one of two whitey's he suspects is cleverer than himself.

whiteys? Whities?
