Yep, hilarious and exactly the same as Rubiales. |  | |  |

What are you talking about? How many women are the head of their country's PFA right now? About the same number as your hypothetical question in the next 10 years or more I imagine. That's without hypothesizing about their behaviour. Why are people here so happy to laugh, excuse and dismiss agression towards women? |  | |  |

Resignation rumoured tomorrow on 22:34 - Aug 24 with 4998 views | Swansea_Blue | People do love getting offended on somebody else’s behalf these days. Has anyone thought to check in with the player about whether he deserves to lose his job? Last I heard she brushed it off as nothing and “natural” for their relationship. |  |

I’m not happy or laughing about it - I think he was unwise and wrong to do it. But Inthink it’s reasonable to ask the, albeit hypothetical question as to whether a female kissing a male would raise the same indignation. I suspect it wouldn’t, but it would be equally wrong. |  |

But at the same time it wouldn't have quite the same wider social and historical context as a man in a position of power forcing a kiss on a subordinate woman. |  | |  |

Cheers Phil, that changes things then. I hadn’t realised she’d changed stance, so completely fair enough that he’s facing action if it was not welcomed. |  |

Don't think she'd given a stance, got the impression the incident was getting played down by supporters of Rubiales which got twisted into her saying she wasn't bothered. Completely baffled by people suggesting there's nothing gross or inappropriate about the incident to be honest. |  |

When has that happened ever? Cheek kissing is one thing and often accepted as a welcome, but not always. Kissing on the lips is a completely different thing all together. It's hard to believe you're even making this comparison. Are you also aware it's being reported he allegedly grabbed his crotch at the final whistle too? If true, is that also ok? Whataboutery of the highest order on this occasion. |  |

Resignation rumoured tomorrow on 23:55 - Aug 24 with 4476 views | Whos_blue | And rightly so. I know you can freeze frame footage, but the way his hands are around her head, she hardly looks like a willing participant does she? |  |

Hopefully this will have made a few decent posters consider their instinctively dismissive reaction to this. |  | |  |

If he's not already been booted, it can't be long till he is, given the entire Spanish womens' squad has now said they'll refuse to play again until he's gone. And Rubiales' behaviour lookss worse & worse the more it's seen - look at the second photo (ie underneath the set of 4 above it) - |  |

I find it completely depressing reading back through a couple of threads on here about the Rubiales case. You'd imagine people wouldn't have such a dismissive, hostile, frivolous reaction if their daughter, wife, partner etc were victims of sexual aggression. Statistically there's a good chance they will have or will be at some time in their lives. |  | |  |

Don't forget 15 players refused to play for the coach and only 3 of them were selected for this tournament once they had reversed their decision. I do not share your confidence that player power will force him out. However I hope they will stick to their guns on this one and that he will go. |  |

Yep, I hadn’t. Toxic culture (as BarcaBlue says in OP on other thread). England women’s team have now joined them ‘on strike’. International incident - wouldn’t be surprised if other national teams do too. Spanish football will become a pariah if he doesn’t go. |  |
