How many black players go onto do their coaching badges and look to get into management tho ? I wouldn't say it was down to known factors, more the fact they're so underrepresented and just comes down to basic maths. Most new managers are employed on their playing careers so if you were a top player then you've got a pretty good chance of getting a job in management regardless of colour.

When there's money involved people couldn't care less who's making it for them and women competing and winning a male dominated sport would be a marketing dream. Biologically they just don't seem to be able to compete against men.

Pretty sure the only Olympic record held by a woman over a man is the discus and the woman's discus is lighter and smaller. So even that is handicapped.

That doesn't seem to be the case though, and the experience of black football managers in the UK does tally with those in the US before affirmative action was taken (on interviews) which lead to a large uptake in black managers, and success of black manager.

Its about how we think in terms of what is successful and what isn't, and how people tend to replicate known formula unconsciously. Especially, when your talking about giving some a 45k week job, on which your staking tens of millions in revenue.

It explains also why some average managers manage to just keep getting jobs, despite their performance - if they've had a 'bit of success'. Because its an area where 'gut feel' dominates more than things like optometric stats and performance indicators (something US sports are very into).

Obviously, there are physiological differences between men and women, that manifest in terms of physical sports - but there is also a culture of bias (say in women's darts - there certainly shouldn't be any physiological differences of significance - other than maybe a professional male darts player gets to practice all the time, and a female player probably can't).

I don't think its overt prejudice, rather more about having a choice between taking a risk and going with a safe option.

What is fun to the media is life changing to the affected people.

The mob rule that is driving this needs to be taken under control.

I suspect this chap had things to feel guilty about but a life sentence is pretty extreme

It does occur to me that in all of these cases the word of the complainant is given so much credence that they become accuser, judge and jury. Maybe one or two of them aren't completely objective or have some kind of axe to grind.

Problem is that you have an entire apparatus that seems to be in place to cover up and suppress allegations. How many people seem to be able to get away with it is staggering, only if you don't talk to women about harassment, and see that almost every woman has been 'touched' by this kind of behaviour or experienced far worse in their lifetime.

It seems in the past we've been 'blind' to serious allegations for so long, that now, its fair enough. The likes of Weinstein have been getting away with serious sex crimes for decades - and now they're paying a price they should have paid 30 or 40 years ago, before they could rack up so many allegations.

Some might be lies, but truth is, when you've got that many people accusing you, and so many people coming out and supporting the allegations from within the 'industry' you're guilty.

From what I've read he was suspended after Carwyn Jones had heard allegations from several women. What they were and whether they are true aren't known by us yet.

The man could have been suffering from depression and the mere fact he was accused, even if there were no basis, could have been enough to push him over the edge. Then again they could have been telling the truth and he may have been guilty of something.
