FIFA suspends Spain soccer federation president Luis Rubiales for 90 days after World Cup win kiss
FIFA has suspended Spanish soccer federation president Luis Rubiales from office while its disciplinary committee investigates his conduct at the Women’s World Cup final.
GENEVA (AP) — FIFA suspended Spanish soccer federation president Luis Rubiales on Saturday while its disciplinary committee investigates his conduct at the Women’s World Cup final, which included kissing player Jenni Hermoso on the lips after Spain’s victory.
A slap on the wrist just confirms FIFA's complicity.
What harsher sanctions within FIFAs power, would you suggest?
Firing him is reasonable, the dude is still insisting it was consual after she has clearly stated it was note. Truly, what investigation needs to occur? It was a live broadcast that very clearly shows him holding her in place, it's a clear abuse of power.
These 90 days are just a PR move in lieu of actually holding him accountable.
I guess assault is legal if you're rich.
