MADRID, Aug 26 ― Spanish football boss Luis Rubiales yesterday refused to resign for grabbing star player Jenni Hermoso's head and kissing her on the lips after Spain's Women's World Cup victory, leading the national team to mutiny and the government to denounce his “macho actions”.
Later, in a statement on social media yesterday, Hermoso added: “I felt vulnerable and a victim of aggression. I was simply not respected.” “Is a consensual peck going to take me out of here? I won't resign. I will fight until the end,” said Rubiales, 46, drawing applause from the predominantly male audience.Criticism of Rubiales' behaviour after Spain's win has built throughout the week, and acting Labour Minister Yolanda Diaz called his speech on Friday “unacceptable”.
“We want all this to be a 'Me Too' of Spanish soccer,” Francos said, adding that the CSD could suspend Rubiales during the investigation if the tribunal agrees.
