[Kursk]

Evans can, apparently, kick a ball. The financial reward for this is ridiculously high but it's one way that civilised people satiate their need for competition. Football has rules. Society has rules. Evans decided those rules do not apply to him so he's been sent off.

He still professes his innocence. He has stepped outside the rules and by doing so he is excluding himself from the game of life and football. Any decent person would not have taken advantage in the circumstances he found himself in. And any decent person who had made a mistake would admit it. His time is not served until he accepts he was wrong.

I don't think he can let himself back into football until he accepts his guilt and pays reparations to his victim.
