FIFA suspends Spain coach over unwanted kiss
There are shockwaves around Spanish football in the wake of a kiss at the medal awards ceremony at the Women's World Cup. Spanish football president Luis Rubiales shocked television audiences when he grabbed Spanish forward Jenni Hermoso's head and kissed her on the lips. Rubiales has refused to resign. Ms Hermoso said: "I believe no person, in any…setting should be a victim of this type of non-consensual behaviour. I felt vulnerable and a victim of an impulse-driven, sexist, out-of-place act, without any consent on my part." She added: "I was not respected." |
