Coach o #Spanish men's nat. team begged 4 forgiveness Friday 4 applauding claim by #LuisRubiales that he was victim of smear campaign from “false #feminists” following uproar after kissing player on the lips at #WomensWorldCup.
“I don’t think I have 2 resign, I think I have 2 ask 4 forgiveness," #LuisDeLaFuente said in #Madrid in first public appearance since Rubiales kissed #JenniHermoso after the final in #Sydney, #Australia. “I made an inexcusable human error.”
Luis Rubiales is the President of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF). Spain won the World Cup. At the awards ceremony he kissed player Jenni Hermoso without her consent.
This was sexual assault. Full stop. He claims it was consensual. Jenni says otherwise. Believe her.
This about power and misogyny. Allowing him to resign is a let off. He should be fired. And more. He’s a sexual predator.
Great article not just about Spain and the asshole President of their Football Federation, but of woman's sport in general. “It is about women and girls feeling safe to play a sport they love. It is about players who work so hard to be the best in the world but have to shorten their happiest moment in order to navigate a completely chaotic mess. It is about how women can never be just athletes, they need to be advocates and protectors of each other and "pick the right battles.””
I hope this is a turning point for sport in Spain and around the World. #ContigoJenni #Spain #España #Barcelona #WomensWorldCup
