Luis Rubiales grabbed his crotch during the game, grabbed a player after it and kissed her on the lips.
Later he said people criticizing him are “idiots” and “stupid,” “fools” and “losers.”
It’s worth remembering these are just the things he did in public.
Luis Rubiales REFUSES to resign for kissing Jenni Hermoso on the lips without her consent.
"I won’t resign," he said four times in quick succession. He says he's the victim of a witch hunt by "false feminists."
“Among those applauding Rubiales were women’s national team coach Jorge Vilda and men’s national team coach Luis de la Fuente.”
They should go too. #Rubiales
This is the thing. By refusing to resign and turning himself into a lying spectacle, Rubiales is taking all the attention away from the women who just won the World Cup. He couldn’t let them be. He’s turned their wonderful achievement into his shameful episode. #Rubiales
FIFA has suspended Luis Rubiales but he remains defiant, admitting no wrong, defending the indefensible.
Meanwhile, the Spanish soccer federation has threatened legal action against Jenni Hermoso, his victim.
