listen i fucking hate how footballers can get away with violent crimes like literally killing someone and drunk driving (see: marcos alonso, bruno fernandes de souza, arturo vidal) and yet nothing happens to them! if they do end up going to court it results in a light sentence which they usually don’t even end up carrying out to the fullest extent. footballers can get away with rape and domestic assault against their partners (see: franck ribery, karim benzema, kingsley coman) and their misogyny isn’t called out (most of the time it’s the women involved who have to suffer from negative attention coming from the press and public). i hate how just because these men can kick a ball, they get a free “get out of jail” card and i hope all of them have their contracts ended, their awards withdrawn, and pay for their crimes

#or like that one guy in wales who literally was imprisoned after being found guilty of rape but got out early and got a new contract no big#the shit with coman is SUPER fucking me up like he literally admitted he was guilty#and i'm so tired of people not taking violence against women seriously#literally like 90% of my friends are also survivors of either sexual or domestic assault#i'm tired of living with the trauma and i'm tired of dealing with people writing the crimes off as 'not that bad' for whatever reaso#and honestly i feel like i can't even trust our fan collective to speak out against violence against women#like we're always really on board with human rights violations and racism and homophobia and then it comes to women and it's like#it's like we're not even people to half of them...#which is probably why we always get destroyed and no one cares#i'd also like to add ronaldo to the list of people who get away with rape#and also mention how cruel it is people made a bigger deal about his tax evasion than the super fucking concrete rape allegations#also can clubs stop fucking protecting these men#i PROMISE there are enough decent footballers in the world that a club could make a commitment to not keeping them#and still be able to have success over others#but not with the crusty old white men who don't give two shits in charge (yes this includes bayern HARD)#rape tw#domestic violence tw#football
