Barnsley Metrodome, run by Barnsley Premier Leisure (BPL), is being used to host a speaking event by convicted rapist, Mike Tyson. A BPL spokesperson said they didn't wish to cause offence. Please join Barnsley Sexual Abuse and Rape Crisis Services (BSARCS) in showing BPL that as a town we are offended that a publicly accessible and funded building will be used to glorify a convicted rapist. In Tyson's own words to a Telegraph interviewer, 'To me women were nothing, not even human beings'.
Absolutely vile that the Metrodome thinks this is okay. We should be protecting victims here not giving a platform to someone who talks about women like that.

Get him out of Barnsley. Money isnt worth the disrespect to local families.
