Arguably the biggest FIFA Women’s World Cup of all time is now marred by a single act that lasted just one second, but will be remembered forever in infamy
Even with Rubiales out of a job, the situation is still far from resolved with Hermoso officially filing a criminal case against the former chief.
Appointing just any other president or coach is like putting a band-aid on an open wound; it might stick at first, but sooner or later it loses its effect. The players’ well-being and demands must be taken into consideration by giving them leadership they can trust not only to win football games, but foster a healthier culture within the federation.
It is not enough that there is support from both fans and people in authority alike, rather the support must not come at the cost of harm to any athlete regardless of any possible personal characteristic. Even days after the incident, the RFEF continuously backed then-president Rubiales in attempts to clear the situation before it escalated further. Hermoso even went on record stating that the Spanish Football Federation put under “continuous pressure to justify Mr Rubiales’ actions,” with international governing body FIFA needing to intervene and suspend Rubiales themselves.
