The Spin

Narrative A

It took a lot of courage for Nikita Hand to step up and file a long-shot civil rape case against a powerful man such as Conor McGregor — who, in his prime, was a national hero in Ireland. That courage has paid off, offering hope for victims of sexual violence and showing that this is a fight worth continuing.

Narrative B

This guilty verdict is a travesty of justice that, unsurprisingly, is in line with the desire of the Irish establishment to defame McGregor and neutralize his rise as the voice of the voiceless. Despite witnesses and CCTV footage telling a completely opposing chain of events, people are happy to smear this Irish hero as a rapist and even though this wasn't a criminal court verdict.
