Soccer Chief Suspension

[hermione]

I hate the way he keeps saying there was mutual consent. Does he not know what consent means?

I’m so mad the team’s championship is completely overshadowed by shitty men.

[macmars45]

To him consent means he wanted to kiss a woman and she was there. Asshole.

Even worse - they are threatening legal action against HER.

I saw this happen live and said “what the fuck?!” out loud. I am so angry that these women’s accomplishments are being overshadowed, as usual, by dudes and their shitty behavior.

wtaf? At least last I read Spain's pm was in full support of her and against him and his fake apology

[neverfstop]

the whole thing is bonkers....I really hope the women & team continue to stand their ground.
I saw the team wants to boycott until he is removed & they are threatening legal action against all of them.

Just another example of a horrible man in charge of women...

And the abuse that women in sport face, at all levels apparently.

the backtrack from the RFEF is insane.

and as for this...

"The federation went on to say that players had “an obligation” to participate in matches “if they are called for it,”...."

....no, they don't. i hope no one is willing to cross this line and the RFEF embarrasses itself by scheduling some kind of victory game(s) and ends up having no players and no opponents willing to participate.

It’s too bad the evidence wasn’t recorded on live TV for everyone to see with written statements by the victim to clearly articulate her POV.

Oh, wait …
