    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.

      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”
