I watched the video and what that guy did was indefensible.
And yet
That's a bit of old news. He been temporarily suspended by the FIFA during their own investigation today.
"Temporarily suspended" is not the same as "dismissed with extreme prejudice never to hold office ever again". The latter is what's called for and what these women deserve to see.
But it's much better than backed by the entire direction of the national federation and threatening to pursue 80s sportwomen.
i.e. suspended until it blows over.
They can't. First they must redo their image. Second do you belive CocaCola board is happy to see their logo next of the one of a group which support sexual harassment ? I don't think so.
CocaCola does not care. Their brand will not suffer. If anything, they like that it makes the logo feel ubiquitous.
"Fifa Ethics Committee "?
Bit of an oxymoron really
Yeah, the "don't fuck with our public image or the sponsors are going to leave" comitee. If they could have kicked him they would.
The last thing they want is their sponsors walking away for not be associated on the bad side of another #metoo
Temporararily is the keywprd here..
That dude just has to step down. He's only making it worse for himself.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Rubiales was widely condemned in Spain after he kissed star player Jenni Hermoso on the lips without her consent at the Women's World Cup last Sunday.
In the days that followed, he rejected repeated calls to step down and defended his kiss as "mutual, euphoric, and consensual."
Victor Francos, who is the president of the CSD and the country's sports minister, said the government would "initiate proceedings" to require Rubiales to explain himself before a tribunal as soon as possible.
Rubiales would then be suspended if the administrative court finds that the controversial kiss, which Hermoso said was unwanted, violated the country's sports code.
"I think we can say it is the MeToo of Spanish football," Francos told journalists just hours after Rubiales announced he would not step down.
Spain's women's football league, Liga F, said it also lodged its own complaint with the CSD over Rubiales' "very serious actions and behavior."
The original article contains 414 words, the summary contains 149 words. Saved 64%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
The bosses are never the irreplaceable part of a sports organization. The woman have talent. The boss is just a guy in a suit.
He will be gone if this move happens so it is good.
This guy deserves everything he's getting. I just saw his speech where he kept saying that he wouldn't step down. It really felt like he just felt invincible. And all these men clapping for him as well.
I obviously don't know the all the details, and I really don't want to defend behavior like this, but I feel like he might even have gotten away with it if he had strongly apologized immediately after finding out that the kiss really wasn't appreciated. Instead he dug in and went full on the defensive.
Why are men running women's sports?

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
