The Spanish Football Association (FA) has released a robust statement defending President Luis Rubiales and threatening legal action against those spreading “lies” about him. The statement aims to showcase Jenni Hermoso’s involvement leading up to the kiss as an attempt to absolve Rubiales of blame and emphasize her responsibility. This comes after Hermoso expressed feeling vulnerable and victimized by an impulsive, sexist act without her consent. The FA claims that Hermoso’s camp has spread falsehoods and states that they have tried to contact her multiple times without success. The FA’s defense of Rubiales includes a breakdown of several photographs preceding the kiss, asserting that they show Hermoso’s complicity rather than consent. Despite the controversy, Rubiales has defiantly refused to step down. FIFA has launched an investigation, and the Spanish government has initiated legal proceedings to have Rubiales suspended. Many players, both male and female, have expressed their disgust at the situation and have refused to play for the national team until Rubiales is removed. The FA concludes its statement by stating that legal action will be taken against those responsible for spreading lies and regrets that the extraordinary success of the Spanish team cannot be celebrated properly due to non-sports-related reasons.
