Spain's equality minister called Luis Rubiales' actions “sexual violence,' and one player said of the unexpected kiss, “I didn’t like it.”
by Reuters, reads: “[The kiss] was a mutual gesture that was totally spontaneous prompted by the huge joy of winning a World Cup. The ‘presi’ and I have a great relationship, his behaviour with all of us has always been 10 and this was a natural gesture of affection and gratitude.” Other players Rubiales kissed haven’t spoken publicly about it.Where Hermoso offered more lighthearted comments about the kiss, others—certainly, including Montero—disagree.
Of course, whatever Rubiales’ intentions were, his behavior was part of a disturbing pattern of how female athletes are . It’s good to see Spain’s equality minister and soccer players all over the world rally in support of the players Rubiales inappropriately touched.
