Sarah Green of the Violence Against Women Coalition has made by far the most salient point of the Ched Evans saga, as Oldham prepare to offer him a contract. This is the crux of what she said. As we are in the transfer window it feels this matter will not go away. It is time for the FA to step up and make its views known. Fan associations should urgently do the same. The Government estimates that around 85,000 women are raped in England and Wales every year. Rape is not a marginal issue. All of us know survivors of rape. The police and courts cannot sanction and deter it alone. Everyone, including sports clubs, need to be involved in challenging the attitudes which make excuses for rape and let perpetrators think they can get away with it. Well said that woman.
