The President of the Royal Spanish Football Federation crudely exploited his position as he celebrated the historic World Cup win.
On the surface it’s all bright lights and happy vibes but there has been a seedier underbelly to some of which has played out across the last month, culminating as Spain celebrated their win over England last Sunday.tournament, Luis Rubiales, President of the Royal Spanish Football Federation crudely exploited his position as he celebrated the historic World Cup win.
There is something predictable wearisome about the victim has been portrayed in all of this; Hermoso released a statement on Friday afternoon to clarify that the kiss was not consensual. Indeed, it came to light that PR staff had engineered an equally nonconsensual statement as she and her family had been put under pressure to back up Rubiales as they travelled back from the tournament.
He also claimed to have been “socially murdered” and that the “peck” was consensual. It was difficult not to conclude that the tone of his speech caused as much damage as his conduct. The obvious take from the reactions of de la Fuente and Vilda are the insights it offers into the mindset of the culture that surrounds the women’s team.
If it utterly soils a week in which Spain should have been celebrating their triumph at a World Cup that offered so much to get excited about for women’s football in terms of quality, audience numbers and global attention, it is not new.
