A furor erupted after Luis Rubiales kissed player Jennifer Hermoso at a ceremony. “It was an unacceptable gesture and Mr. Rubiales’ apologies are not enough,” the acting prime minister said.
Win a tournament and have a man sexually harass you in return. Should’ve knocked that motherfucker’s lights out.
And what’s this garbage about “he should resign”? Terminate him.
The government can’t do that, only the association board can.
Should just charge him with sexual assault. I imagination that would force the well earned termination.
Yes he should, in reality he won’t, because pressing charges would probably end Jennifer Hermoso’s career, and the crime happened in Australia, so not only would she need to deal with court case there, it’s doubtful she could get the piece of shit to show up.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
But the joy of its victory has been tempered by what happened during the medal ceremony: the head of the Royal Spanish Football Federation planting a kiss on the lips of one of Spain’s players.
Now, federation President Luis Rubiales is being roundly criticized, including by Spain’s acting prime minister, Pedro Sánchez.
Therefore, he must continue taking steps to clarify what we saw," Sánchez said in a press conference on Tuesday, as reported by Spanish newspaper El País.
On Monday, the federation released a video of Rubiales offering a supposed apology for his actions, which he describes as “very spontaneous” and “a moment of maximum effusiveness without any bad intention.”
“It was a mutual gesture that was totally spontaneous prompted by the huge joy of winning a World Cup,” her statement said, according to Reuters.
A spokesperson for Spain’s People’s Party called Rubiales’ attitude “embarrassing” and said “all institutional managers have a duty to be exemplary.”
