Once again!! The professions where a convicted offender would not resume his career are roles where the EMPLOYER chooses not to employ an offender or for legal reasons.
Oldham Athletic WANTED to employ Evans - that is the difference. Also there is every chance that without pressure - Blades would also have employed him.
If a profession DOES NOT want to employ an offender - that is their choice. But at least one football club DID WANT to employ Evans and we all know that without pressure several other offers would have evolved.

Thats the point though.

People say he has paid his dues and should have a chance to have a career but as FBM says anyone outside of football doesnt have that same right so why should a footballer have more rights than any other profession.

A convicted criminal can not expect to simply resume their life as if nothing has happened when they come out.

Then rehabilitation is pointless.
If an offender is not allowed a second chance (after paying his dues) then there is not much point in him keeping within the law on his release - is there?
