Megan Rapinoe has slammed Luis Rubiales, the head of the Spanish Football Federation, for his behaviour after the World Cup final at the weekend.
. He was also spotted making an obscene gesture from his seat, and Rapinoe has called out his "misogyny".: "It made me think about how much we are required to endure. Think how much that Spanish team had to shoulder: Some of the players who stood up way back last year still aren’t on the team. Maybe that was something that galvanized them, but you shouldn’t have to have that.
"There was another picture that signals such a deep level of misogyny and sexism in that federation and in that man at the final whistle, justhis crotch. What kind of upside-down world are we in? On the biggest stage, where you should be celebrating, Jenni has to be physically assaulted by this guy.
