Spain’s football boss Luis Rubiales has been under massive criticism since kissing player Jennifer Hermoso, but refuses to resign. Hermoso has now commented in detail on the incident. The association responded with a threat.
The national players led by Jennifer Hermoso are on strike, the football association RFEF, headed by controversial President Luis Rubiales, is threatening lawsuits, and the Spanish government is also getting involved: the kissing debate after Spain’s World Cup victory is getting worse and worse.
Hermoso responded to Rubiales’ refusal to resign on Friday with a detailed statement that could not have been clearer: “I felt vulnerable and the victim of an impulsive, sexist and inappropriate act that I did not consent to. Simply put, I was not respected,” the 33-year-old wrote in a statement that she shared on Instagram, among other places.
