Spanish football federation threatens to sue Jenni Hermoso over kiss ‘lies’
www.theguardian.com
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”.

    I’m pretty certain he has already publicly apologized though. Not to mention that we have no clue about their private interactions.

    Again, this doesn’t seem like something that requires international attention. I believe the two of them could figure it out themselves just fine.

      “I’m pretty certain he has already publicly apologized though.”

      Feel free to share evidence of the public apology, you seem to be remembering something no one else saw. All I’m seeing is him making excuses, no apology.

          We saw it as something natural and normal," he continued in the video — which was not posted on federation’s social media channels. “But on the outside it has caused commotion, because people have felt hurt by it, so I have to apologize; there’s no alternative. I have to learn from this and understand that a president of an institution as important as the federation — above all in ceremonies and that kind of thing — should be more careful.”

          He did not address his postgame locker-room declaration that he would marry Hermoso; nor his celebration shortly after the final whistle, which included grabbing his crotch; nor the battle with women’s national team players that he publicized and inflamed last September.

          Seems like he’s apologizing because he was called out specifically, not that he’s actually remorseful for what he did or thinks he did anything wrong.

      What a bullshit. There’s no ‘private interaction.’ Such a comment is as unacceptable as this so-called president.
