In EU general yes, many people survived SA charges and continue playing. But not in England where clubs pay tributes to social causes like blacklivesmatter, ukraine, etc.This one in particular is bad because it involves deceit and betrayal from the club, top to bottom. An excerpt from the breaking news:

Thomas Partey, the former Arsenal footballer, has been charged with five counts ofremoved and one count of sexual assault, the Crown Prosecution Service has announced. The bombshell case leaves the Premier League club facing intense criticism for continuing to play him for almost three years in full knowledge of an investigation. Telegraph Sport had exclusively revealed in July 2022 how a Premier League international had been arrested but only now can his name be published

Campaigners are dismayed by Arsenal’s failure to drop Partey while knowing he was under investigation. They point out in most industries professionals would be automatically suspended as soon as their employer learnt of serious criminal allegations. Partey, however, played 53 games last season alone for Arsenal, and racked up an additional 56 club appearances over the previous two seasons while on bail. He played three games at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Abuse from fans has followed him at stadiums throughout his time on bail, however, with his arrest becoming common knowledge despite media refraining from identifying him.

The last sentence was damning.They had to alter/mute chants from opposing fans on TV broadcast. Having not lived in England, I thought after initial reports they either misidentified him, or he bust case, because its been 2.5 years. The chants were just banter in bad taste. They surpressed protests from internal fan group as well. But apparently Partey was just on bail this whole time, the coach, teammates, club owners, reporters, pundits, ex players like Ian Wright and Henry, they all know, and they all stayed hush like nothing happened for 2.5 years while the player earned 200k a week. They let Partey finish his contract, and now everyone at Arsenal had the balls to say "he's not with us anymore, we had nothing to do with him." They protected and worked with him this whole time knowing he was on bail for removed. In contrast, the kit man who expressed solidarity for Palestine was immediately fired. This is as gross as it gets.

I do support Celtic in Champions league matches because thier fans stand up to Palestine and always make a good show of it. But I support Aberdeen in Scottish Premier League - it is more fun to support lesser teams. Also, Palestine best player Oday Dabbagh plays for Aberdeen.
