Soccer’s ruling world body FIFA said on Saturday (August 26) it had suspended Spanish federation chief Luis Rubiales from all football-related activities for three months.

That’s while it investigates an incident in which he kissed player Jenni Hermoso on the lips after Spain’s Women’s World Cup victory.

The suspension from national and international activities takes effect immediately from Saturday.

Just 24 hours earlier, Rubiales had been defiant over the kiss, arguing it was consensual and repeatedly saying that he would not resign.

Adding that what he called «false feminists» were, quote, «trying to kill me.»

The kiss been condemned as unwanted by Hermoso, her teammates and the Spanish government.

  1. You mob of slanted skewed half-witted body language ignorant imbeciles.
    The body language is blindingly obvious that this is 2 people who know each other well, and more importantly are comfortable in each other's company; personal space.
    Especially in such Joy of the ultimate success of any known sport. Football ⚽️ is THE SPORT of planet Earth 🌏.
    Any body-language Has-Been, could read what is going on.
    As, please explain, the length of embrace, the raising of her; Jenny Hermoso, right leg during the embrace, the words spoken before the Kiss and then Jenny's equally spontaneous emotional response of her affectionate pat with both hands, on each side of his torso.
    Importantly, Jenny's public response was an unqualified defence of Rubiales and to quote Jenny "it was a total spontaneous mutual gesture. " "The President and I have a great relationship, his behaviour has been outstanding and it was a natural gesture of affection and gratitude." "You cannot go over board with friendship and gratitude, we have won a World Cup…".

  2. FIFA's evident double standards have raised significant concerns. On one hand, they enthusiastically welcome Qatar as the host of the 2022 World Cup, a nation notorious for its suppression of women's rights. On the other hand, they display rapid condemnation when a simple kiss becomes the subject of scrutiny.

    This stark contrast exposes a disconcerting lack of consistency in FIFA's approach. While they choose to overlook the glaring issues of gender oppression in Qatar, they eagerly assume a moral high ground in the case of a minor display of affection.

    Such behavior erodes FIFA's credibility and integrity. By failing to address the real and pressing matter of human rights in Qatar, while simultaneously trying to assert moral authority elsewhere, FIFA is exhibiting a form of hypocrisy that cannot be ignored.

    In essence, FIFA's actions reveal a disheartening prioritization of convenience over ethics. Their inconsistency stands as a betrayal of their responsibilities and underscores the urgent need for accountability.

  3. A Sexually Creepy older guy, in a position of power and influence, forces himself on a young professional female athlete. Not the first time, either, It makes me cringe. Not to mention, he ruined the victory celebration while the whole world watched.

  4. But what is a woman, did you just assume their gender, what a bigot you are, I think that you need to be removed from your job and investigated for a hate crime, after all, no-one is above the law, so they keep telling me, I am so horrified, imagine in 2023, a man kissing a woman on the lips, it's an insult to all those who stormed the Normandy beaches, fighting for our freedom, and this is how they repay their sacrifice, public affection between men and women, it's just not natural, it should be a crime.
