They always start with free speech. It sounds reasonable, doesnβt it? Free speech? And they can use it to shut down anyone who criticises them, because itβs all βfree speechβ
After βfree speechβ itβs βprotecting women and girlsβ
And then itβs whatever they actually wanted.
If you have opinions on this and are on the club's mailing list there was an e-mail sent out today surveying fans about attitudes towards their brand partners.

For a club that espouses the importance of βvaluesβ, reports that the club is considering renewing the Rwanda sponsorship deal are depressing. Arsenal shouldn't allow itself to be used to launder reputations of murderous dictatorships. Should fans be putting more pressure on those in power?

Although the man's identity has been protected, the Football Association's safeguarding department is aware of the allegations against him and began an investigation of its own last November to determine "the risk this individual may, or does, pose to children and/or adults at risk within affiliated football". If the FA believes there is a significant risk, it has the power to issue an interim suspension order while a full risk assessment report is carried out. That, however, has not happened in this case and the man in question continues to work as normal while the FA's investigation remains ongoing
It's incredible how slowly the wheels of justice can turn when the alleged victims are powerless women and children and their alleged attacker is a wealthy and influential man.
