USArsenal The urgency we all feel in our different ways for football "not to be political", to be a "safe space" ... that feeling's why football can launder the reputations of unpleasant characters, oligarchs, human rights violating nation-states etcetera.
Some of us want to make the discomfort go away with a "see no evil" attitude, others of us think it'd be better if the clubs put players who are sex pests (according to an ordinary social standard) on indefinite furlough or sacked them, and the leagues tightened up their "fit and proper persons" tests.
On the facts wanting consequences or a basic regulatory approach beyond the judiciary seems a moderate position, in line with the procedures concerning misconduct seen at most workplaces.
That position doesn't feel moderate because this is football, not a tech corporation, and so we have quirky and significant emotional stakes.
