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”.

He kissed her as way of celebration after winning the series. Understandable. She didn’t want to be kissed and felt violated, so she made a complaint about it. Understandable.
He could’ve solved this by simply apologising. Assuming this was a “first offence”, it would’ve been solved for the most part. Maybe she wouldn’t accept it, but the public probably would.
Instead they’ve escalated the accident into a lawsuit and made a public enemy of themselves.
@abbadon420
So violating an individual’s rights is acceptable as long as ‘the public’ accepts it?
And if so, who is ‘the public’? I feel I’m also part of the public in that case, and don’t accept it.
No, not ‘they’. It was just him, can’t see any wrongdoing by her.
Zero tolerance policies suck. There has to be some room for forgiveness.
@P03 Locke
That may or may not be true as a generic statement, but in the given case it’s far too late for forgiveness. This man crossed more than one line.

Well, I said “assuming it was a first offence”. I don’t know anything about this guy or his history. If it has happened before, it’s a whole different story. The scenario of “simply apologize” doesn’t apply for repeat offenders, obviously. Also the apology-scenario doesn’t apply now anymore, it could’ve applied as a first response, but they (the entire soccer league) chose to be dicksheads instead.
‘They’ being the Spanish futbol federation, I believe.
In that case the Spanish federation appears to be Rubiales alone. In the meantime he has been suspended by the world federation, and with the pressure from Spanish politics and all tbe others we can hope that he ‘will be resigned’ soon.
Yes, that’s what I meant
I think the they refers to the federation.
