"Silence from men in positions of power on these issues is its own problem, and I would rather see someone engage than retreat. But what the response offered was self-description rather than accountability."
"The conversation around De Zerbi and Greenwood has in some ways been welcome because it put the question of male violence against women back at the centre of football's public discourse."
"A 2024 review published in Trauma, Violence, & Abuse found that men who had perpetrated serious harm rarely identified themselves as perpetrators, often attributing blame to the victim or circumstances."
