No, providing that the crime is unrelated to the record.

What? Any crime or do you mean doping or cheating in their sport.

If you mean any crime then No.

BTW are you posting drunk again?

No crime related to the sport but let’s say

GBh
Murder
Rape
Sexual assault against children
Etc.

An example

Should OJ (The Juice) records all be wiped due to his armed robbery and probably double murder?

[Antony Moxey]

No, because he still achieved those records. His crime had no influence on his sporting success.

Ok so should we have top of the pops shown from the 1970’s and the desert island discs with Jimmy Savile?

How about Gary Glitter songs? Why can we not hear them in the radio or is it the crimes comitted that they refuse to give them any airtime??

so what happens if Hamilton is banged up for a very serious crime, should he lose his world titles? What about team sports? If one or two of the team are convicted of rape/murder/whatever should the world champions then lose their title and the runners-up get the title instead?

This is sort of the question I am posing for debate so what do you think?

And if we go to say Saville given what he did we’re crimes outside should all his top of the pops etc be broadcast ongoing like all other old top of the pops? Who makes he decision that actually he was so bad we will wipe him from history ditto “do you wanna be in my gang”

[Digger]

How about stop asking questions and tell us what you think Welshbeef, with examples.
