If there is one thing we have learned from this and Mason Greenwood, is that we have to assume innocence until proven guilty. Now they just have their name ruined and might never play for their clubs again.

Also what about the club that dropped their contracts? Do they get reimbursed and reinstated?

So was OJ, but in a court of law they were both found innocent. As annoying as it may be, he is legally not guilty… until he commits another crime.

You don't need to forgive or change your opinion anyone just because a court found them innocent. Greenwood is an awful human being.

The difference is greenwood is actually got video evidence of his abuse, just his girlfriend now decided to forgive him and drop the case

Yeah, when all the videos, images, and audio leaked in the Greenwood case, we should've all just said "You know, we just can't know for sure"
