Luis Rubiales insists he will not step down after kissing Jenni Hermoso during the World Cup trophy presentation; Hermoso said the kiss was not consensual, Rubiales has doubled down and says he will sue Hermoso; 81 Spanish players have said they will not play for the country again
"The RFEF and Mr President will demonstrate each of the lies that are spread either by someone on behalf of the player or, if applicable, by the player herself."
"They are not trying to carry out justice, that’s fake. A social assassination is being carried out on me. They are trying to kill me. Rubiales grabbed Hermoso and kissed her on the lips during the awards ceremony following Spain's 1-0 victory over England on Sunday in Sydney.The player said she was"vulnerable" and"the victim of an aggression", as she and the rest of the Spain team revealed they will not play any further matches until the"federation leadership is removed".
He added that he was the victim of a witch hunt by"false feminists" after rapidly repeating"I won't resign" a number of times. "I didn't see it live, it wasn't until I got back and saw the photographs, and I said 'this can't be real'. It's so unacceptable, and I'm not sure how he can say anything other than sincere apologies. It's not something that should happen in any line of work, least of all on the world stage.
