May did not take the photo. It was a still photo taken from one of the many media sites that covered the trial.
I'll say this again. I don't have a problem in May using this image. I believe he was documenting his own personal journey from that time.
The photo with Ivan Cleary was a recognition for the obvious and sustained help May has recieved from the Cleary family. Seperate to his friendship with Nathan.
I think the song lyrics is where it becomes trickly. Not the best idea. The photos without the song in my opinion would have been fine.
But in saying that I think May wanted to highlight the pain he caused to his family and to himself......one line says about 'growing from the dirt you threw at me'.
and yes there has been plenty of dirt thrown by others.Been quite relentess I would say.
(and before all the Karen's jump, I'm not discounting what the girl has gone through, but this is about May)
Except for what May has recieved from the club, suits within the club, players, coaching staffs. There has been no support, just bile and abuse. Day in, day out. I can imagine you'd begin to feel like a victim after a couple of years of this.
I have no idea whether the club will keep him or not.
A case could be made for either decision.
It is a must though that the club, and individuals within the club continue to support him.
