Who is this please?

Mendy (or any other player who found himself in this position) will never play for City again.
If the courts find him innocent after weighing up all the evidence, it does not really matter - sadly imo.
Perception, public opinion, social media and the liberal agenda will make it impossible for City to play him.
There would be an outcry from all the usual sources and then sponsors would withdraw, etc...
Ulster and Ireland Rugby Union player Paddy Jackson (and three others) were tried for rape in 2018.
'After less than 4 hours of deliberation, the jury delivered a unanimous not guilty verdict for all four men'.
Despite being found innocent Jackson's contract with Ulster rugby was terminated and he never played for Ireland again.
He had to move to France where he got a contract.
IMO, more alarmingly when he signed with London-Irish for 2019/2020, sponsors Cash Converters, Diageo and Guinness
withdrew their sponsorship because his previous behavior from 2018 was deemed 'not consistent with our values'.
This referred to the trial and also to messages sent to a private WhatsApp group, re events of the night of the alleged rape,
that were made made public after the trial.
For certain the WhatsApp messages were not bedtime reading for the kids but a bunch of young men talking in private about their sexual exploits never is.
The texts were exactly what I would expect from a group of single young men. No worse than that.
The bottom line is, the court decision of innocence kept him out of jail, but his sentence was decided outside the courts by the mob, most
of who have no idea what they are talking about.
Sad state of affairs in my opinion.
