Those are all nuances that would have to likely be taken into account.

I’m guessing a mark of a professional athlete is what do you do with your position of power and influence, often that translates into other areas of how you conduct yourself day to day. How do you conduct yourself as a professional teammate?Do you A) Do whatever you can to help the team win, will you be a distraction, will you put yourself and your interests ahead of your teams?
As an employer spending hundreds of millions of dollars on a massive sports organization that extends way beyond the players in the clubhouse. That would be physios, marketing teams, sales teams, lawyers. People that you want to ensure are working in a safe environment where they don’t feel uncomfortable. Potentially you’re a trans employee, or a female who has a history of being abused, you see your employer hiring someone who was accused and or convicted or something extremely harmful. Likely would be an issue. Is that a nuance that you considered? Or are you simply just bending over backwards to try to find reasons to hire convicted criminals?
