Governing body says it will take ‘necessary legal action’ against female players protesting over Luis Rubiales kiss scandal

In a statement, the federation said that it would take the “necessary legal action” and told the female players that “playing for the national team is an obligation on any member of the federation called upon to do so”.

      People want a lot of things they’re not likely to get.

      Sometimes when you fuck up, you don’t get to keep your job afterwards. Quadrupling down and suing because you fucked up and don’t want to take your lumps just makes you look worse in the long run.

          Aside from the massive strawman here, you’re defending a dude who sexually assaulted a player under them in public and on film.

          In this case, yes, exactly what you said entirely unironically. He shouldn’t defend himself for committing sexual assault because that’s unacceptable no matter what, and he should have gone with the popular demands to step down for committing an unacceptable act. Because social media is right in this case.

              You can agree to disagree if you want, but I won’t and think you’re entirely you’re wrong. And thankfully FIFA doesn’t agree with you and have suspended him for the kiss.

              Sexual assault is never ok, and I hope he gets bounced from the league. I also hope your type that justifies gross and unacceptable behavior find that they’re not welcome either.

                  So? Public pressure works to give proper repercussions to sexual assualters in old boys clubs, and it’s doing what it should here.

                  I really don’t understand why you’re riding this so hard to defend a sex pest…

                  And yet you feel the need to take the side of the rich and powerful guy by dismissing the accusations outright instead of believing her long enough to find out if they are true.

      Okay, so you’re arguing that this guy should be let alone after he allegedly lied. He said it was the female player who told him to kiss in her lips. That’s your position. Alright, everyone, he keeps his job, nothing to see here!
