WHO is the tall bald kissy bear-hug man!?
Well, bloody hell:

That RFEF press release that purportedly included a statement from Hermoso (defending Rubiales after he assaulted her during the World Cup medals ceremony)?
It didn't.
That, and worse, here:
Spain put out fake Jenni Hermoso statement following kiss, Luis Rubiales asked her for joint statement
Spain are celebrating their first ever World Cup in the women’s game, 13 years on from the men’s triumph in South Africa. However much of the talk since has revolved around the head of the Spanish football association (RFEF) Luis Rubiales.During the celebrations and live on television, Rubiales grabbed star striker Jenni Hermoso and kissed …

"I have made the decision not to return to the National Team until things change and this type of act does not go unpunished."

➡️ 56 Spanish WNT players, including all 23 of the World Cup-winning squad, have signed a joint statement saying they will not play any further matches for their country until the "federation leadership is removed".
➡️ Head of Spain's Sports Council seeks Rubiales' removal & says "we want this to be a 'Me Too' of Spanish soccer".

The UEFA Nations League starts on 21 September. Rubiales is vice-president of UEFA.
I wonder if every player not on strike would wear some kind of #EstamosContigo shirt in solidarity.
Or, ideally, participate in the strike itself. Just both teams walk off the pitch after the anthems.
(Assuming all this is still dragging on by then.)

"This is exactly why many women do not come forward to report harassment or abuse.
"We are being asked to ignore what you can see on film, and to dismiss a woman when she says she didn't consent. It is an outrageous situation."

Karl Stanley@clickhere @wwc it’s good news, though I wonder if sort of back room deal is in play? Scumbags like Rubiales will always look for a payout or a cushy number elsewhere before they will do the right thing.
@karlstanley @wwc Very probably. Perhaps the criminal charges changed the dynamics, but ultimately he'll be fine.
Queeróg (siad/iad/comrádaí) 🍉@clickhere @wwc jfc it's about time eh?
@swearylibrarian @wwc Kicking and screaming.
@clickhere @wwc yes him playing the victim and getting all "my poor wife and daughters" hardly screams remorse or apology does it
@swearylibrarian @wwc It's all extremely telling.
ScottinSoCal 🇺🇦 🕊 🏳🌈What was she wearing? And what was she doing there at that time of day, anyway? How can we make this entirely her fault?
Daragh Ó Briain@clickhere @wwc Well. That escalated quickly.
@DaraghOBrien @wwc Here's hoping.
@DaraghOBrien @wwc It's escalated morely:

Kevin O'SullivanThat's an excellent idea. Even more powerful if the men would come out with a gesture of support too. The next round of Euro 2024 qualifiers is on 7 September, so they have enough time to plan to do something in solidarity.
(I wouldn't hold my breath though. Or for Rubiales to jump/be pushed by the end of September.)
Sherra@clickhere I've been wondering why UEFA hasn't stepped in. Now I know. Jfc , it never ends.
@RasherMurphy Right? It's basically now a power struggle.
@clickhere At least FIFA have weighed in.
@RasherMurphy How bad are things when FIFA are taking the moral high ground..?
@clickhere I mean, really .....😬
MettEagle@clickhere @wwc those kind of #men shouldnt have any power over any #woman. Not in womens #soccer nor elsewhere. They are predators and have zero respect for women. No woman is save with them. I wouldnt want to be alone in a room with senor #rubiales ! Disgusting behavior!
#football #mastodonfc #fifa #wwc23 #spain
#football #mastodonfc #fifa #wwc23 #spain
@MettEagle @wwc The entire leadership teams of RFEF, the national teams, and UEFA should be removed and women appointed to those roles.
@clickhere @wwc I thought John Delaney was bad. Solidarity with the players!
@karlstanley @wwc I mean, we only know about what we know about him; but yes, sexual violence is a whole other level.
abhijith@clickhere @wwc I don't understand why the image of their kiss is being shared in so many news articles. Why should Jenni be reminded of this unpleasant memory again and again? India is no champion of women rights and certainly sits at the bottom for journalism but this is not something even we would tolerate here.
@clickhere @wwc I created a temporary insta account and got this email of FUTPRO - [email protected]. I have written to them regarding this.
Kendra Albert@clickhere hey friend, if you’re going to use the wwc group to share news on this, could you use a cw tag? Thank you!
Ní Chorra👏Betis defender Hector Bellerin: "What is happening is truly shameful . From representing our country with that level of vulgarity, misrepresenting the victim's statements and, on top of that, having the audacity to blame her, going on to victimise her for having committed an abuse, are facts that no one would do. How can this go unpunished? Football is a social tool to make advancements and progress, machismo should have no place within this system."
Pauxlll Kruczynski@paulkruczynski @wwc And good riddance. Next: Jorge V.
Gerard Cunningham ✒️@clickhere @wwc Ah yes FIFA, a byword for honour and decency. They'll soon sort this out.
BenniVery good, his action is unexcusable
