After all, we all make mistakes. But for many of us, the mistake is a sharp word to someone we love after a hard day, or not remembering to do our homework. And we expect to receive some form of punishment for it.

Twenty-one-year-old footballer Mason Greenwood was accused of domestic and sexual abuse at the beginning of last year. Initially suspended indefinitely by Manchester United, he has now been loaned to the prestigiousHighly respected. Spanish football club Getafe for a season, where he will earn £75,000 per week.

If you do not think this sounds fair, you are not the only one. The handling of Greenwood's allegations by the club has been the source of huge outrage.

Despite his nearly two year break from football, his career - and huge salary - are set to continue. And what good is a second chance if we have not learned from the first?

No: You can have a second chance for a mistake like accidentally upsetting a friend, or forgetting about a parking ticket. But the accusations against Greenwood do not amount to a mistake. And he has still not faced the consequences of his actions.

Or... Second chances should come after some kind of accountability or punishment. If you get a second chance and you have never been held accountable for the first, you are just going to keep repeating the same mistakes.
