I dont think its right for you to say that he allegedly beat his girlfriend when you know that the person who made the claim has retracted those statements. A good number of probably arent aware that she posted on her Instagram taking those things back.
For the other character flaws it might not be worth it. You have a coach trying to change the culture and somebody with Francois attitude might be counterproductive. He does have a huge arm and if things go bad you can always kick him off the team.
I guess the sister of the victim said someone hacked into her instagram account. I didnt realize it until just now. These things always get messy and i just try to avoid them.I don’t know why, but the retraction post seems... inauthentic. Like, it’s laid out a little too tidily. I got the impression someone else wrote it as I was reading it, but it’s just a feeling. Hard to explain why.
To everyone saying things like this, you do understand that a huge portion of domestic assault victims eventually do this. I think you need to be careful to qualify your statements. IF she made a false claim, she should be prosecuted. If she's been gaslit into retracting her statement over fears of ruining Francois' life, I would believe it. Athletes and their extensive support networks can be really overwhelming in situations like this.Women who make these false claims should be prosecuted. Completely derails a man's life and makes it harder on legitimate victims as well.
