I suppose a full retraction of the above in this weeks edition isn't going to happen, The Mirror has apologised once this week already. However I feel you should offer apologies to the players. Maybe next time you will await the full facts before printing such an inflammatory article.
The girls had no DNA evidence and sold their story to a National Newspaper. Is there going to be an article coming up on the actions of these women undermining the real victims who get little support because of 'ladies' like the three you defended. Or is it just a case that the footballers in this case shouldn't have been there at 4am?
I think that just as women acting in this way do little to encourage the real victims of rape, and that they are the true "imbecilic" persons in this case and with newspapers such as yourselves writing trash like the above they will always be "safe in the knowledge they're answerable to no one". Your description of all footballers as "violent, aggressive, drunken misogynistic, socially inept morons who shouldn't be out on their own, let alone be representing a Premiership club" is not a fair assumption either, unless every story that emerges of this nature results in a criminal conviction.
"But has anyone stopped to think why it's only footballers who are the sexual sickos. You don't get this kind of Neanderthal behaviour in rubgy or other sports where the players earn buckets of money."
Sorry to prove you wrong again, but look at Rugby Players and Australian Rules Football players in Australia for allegations backed up with fact.
I'm tempted to call it feminist clap trap, but I think bandwagon jumping is more accurate.
I welcome a response to the points raised, I might be biased as a Leicester City fan but I feel strongly that many articles, not just your own and by the Mirror, were simply examples of journalism at its laziest. A case of sell as many papers as possible, regardless of the facts.
Well said Dunc, cracking email. She will be well pissed off.
Joe_Fox you fookin legend, brilliant stuff.
I have waited along time for this to happen, everyone who doubted these players should hang their heads in shame and perhaps rape yourself at the same time.
