I could be wrong but that would only be the case if in some way his offenses were directly related to the sport ,also it would not really look good from the point of rehabilitation of an offender . We have to accept that he has been punished ( whether you agree with that is another matter) from everyone's point of view if he is able to make a fist of being a s/way rider surely that can only be a good thing. You can ostracise him because you feel that's what he deserves but his best chance of not re-offending is to be gainfully employed( s/way appears to be the best occupation for him ) and occupied in general as much a possible ,no one can guarantee that he will succeed but at least there would be no excuses for him not doing so .

Sings4Speedway Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago On the other side is Speedway the best choice of "employment" for a reforming addict? No routine, long travel around the country, late nights, adrenaline highs and so on. Throw in that Jason is late 20's so whilst not over the hill there is a shelf life which may or may not outdate the sport in its current guise anyway. Lets be clear Jason is a complex character and there is probably a whole lot going on under the surface but he has an issue with authority, a known mouth and tendency for violence (prior to chargeable crimes). I know he could have had a sponsored van previously if he produced his driving licence but failed to do so multiple times. Rehabilitation and second chances are vital for those who have made mistakes but its very questionable if the same environments (in this case Speedway) that previous "questionable choices" were made is the right place for them to happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
