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”.

    So violating an individual’s rights is acceptable as long as ‘the public’ accepts it?

    Zero tolerance policies suck. There has to be some room for forgiveness.

      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.
