Sad to celebrate such a basic thing but the bar is on the floor for footballers so thank you Hector Bellerin.

TW MENTIONS OF SEXUAL ASSAUT AND ABUSE

I’m going to try and say this as clearly and as loudly as I possibly can through a screen because it really needs to get to some people. 

If no one from the original team you were playing with is defending or supporting you, maybe it’s because they know stuff the public don’t, and maybe that ‘stuff’ is evidence of guilt. 

If Mendy is truly, honestly and thoroughly innocent, don’t you think people like Aguero or Stones, or hell, fucking Guardiola himself would be speaking out and supporting him? Does that not seem plausible? People who have spoken to him on less than two occasions and young, impressionable players are the only two groups of people who are singing praise about Mendy. Really, in your heart of hearts, don’t you think that sounds suspicious? 

I’ve seen some people try and compare this to the Neymar case and that is the most vile thing you can do in my opinion. I didn’t like Neymar, I still very much don’t, but whenever I think about what happened in 2019 my heart explodes with sympathy. These braindead imbeciles using a reverse case to try and justify this is disgusting. What happened with Neymar simply cannot be used to justify this as not only did he provide hard, concrete evidence that you can still find on the internet, but it also turned out to be reversed, where HE was the one experiencing the assault and violence. THIS IS NOT THE SAME! And the fact that people are using this horrible experience to try and prove a point is appalling!

And you know what else is absolutely heinous and appalling? The fact that not even 24hrs before Dele Ali spoke out about the sexual abuse he experienced as a child, as well as other forms of hidden abuse that was caused by his mother and other adults in his life. How many footballers did i see openly supporting him? Three. And how much media coverage did this interview get? Well for me, I don’t have twitter so I can’t say anything about that over there, but I do have other social medias and I can say with full certainty that I have only seen eight videos in support. Eight. I had more hours of sleep last night. 

The same people that are preaching for men’s mental health and for men abuse victims are the same people who said nothing in support of Ali. If you are one of those people reading this I want you to look at yourself and ask how that works. 

And to the people who are reading and, like me, doesn’t think this affects you. Take a look at the list and count how many of your favourites are on there supporting him, because you will be heartbroken and empty.

This benjamin mendy thing is honestly so disgusting with all the footballers supporting him like?? This is why a lot of women are afraid of coming out. Even before he was proven innocent, crusty ass boys still supported him. And I've seen a lot of comments of people saying "this is why you shouldn't date these women date black women" blah blah.. are you saying black women will take the sexual assault and disrespect from you ugly ass players and not report it? Do you think this is uplifting us? It's not. It's gross AF! death to everyone fr.

Just a reminder, that this is the type of criminal your favorite players think it’s right to support and sympathize with.

[hummusxx]

it just hurts me to think about what these women are going through rn. They are probably heartbroken, angry, and feeling horrible about what has happened today. A man gets to walk freely because he has money and power over them. These women got something done to them that no one should ever wish upon their worst enemy. SA and r*pe in any account is not okay. It takes a lot of mental stability and power to come out and say your statement and side of the story. I applaud these women for doing what they did. I pray that these women find closer and stability in this fight for justice.

Football players liking Mendy news so they are reassured that they too can rape a woman and face no consequences

[matildalyonne]

Men saying footballers showing support for Benjamin Mendy as a form of male solidarity are absolutely lying. Last year Mason Mount and Billy Gilmour were subject to blackmail and extortion from a TikTok influencer.

She was stalking them, claimed pregnancy, tried to get hundreds of thousands of pounds. And this whole time Mount and James had to endure ridicule for their on pitch performance. Gilmour, a 21 yo Scottish lad who came to London to try and make a career was so affected that he needed sleeping pills(which can mess up your sync as an athlete). These guys were literally scared to leave their houses and go for training, were forced to change their phone numbers multiple times.

And throughout all this there was zero support from the wider footballing world. Zilch. Nada. These guys had to go through all this on their own, but suddenly a serial rapist walks free and everyone is dropping essays of how they support him. Just a bunch of misogynistic hypocrites.

memphis depay is such an idiot man😭 he said “i facetimed mendy once and i played against him a couple times. i saw no evil”

that doesnt mean anything lmao???

[jcdr3swiftie]

seriously fuck men, fuck benjamin mendy and fuck every footballer defending him. I hope they rote in hell.

[wherepoetswentodie]

i hope every single player who liked that memphis depay / mason greenwood instagram post:

a) snaps their legs so they never play football again and

b) have to look their wives / daughters / sisters in the eyes and explain exactly why they think either of those men are okay ❤️

[gavi-pedri]

praying for vini, jack, pogba, memphis depay (who even is he) and every football player that liked AND unliked all the posts' downfall 🙏🏾

[iguessweallcrazyithinktho]

I think men who are rapist and defend rapist should die by public beheading

TW: Sexual Assault

Can we as females PLEASE stop with the narrative of “Oh my favorite athlete could never hit that woman, r*pe that woman, cheat on that woman?”

These are men with millions of dollars and the ability to bend the legal system in their favor. When we as women discredit victims, we shame others from coming forward and basically give these men the chance to do this again!

[fc-bayern-clownchen]

god forbid men support a fellow footballer who is an abuse survivor than a man accused of multiple rapes

much love and only support to dele and go rot in hell to benjamin mendy
