Leah Williamson, the captain of the England team, recently had a conversation with Jenni Hermoso over a video that captured the Spain star joking about being kissed by the Spanish FA president, Luis Rubiales. This scandal has cast a shadow over Spain’s World Cup triumph over England. FIFA has provisionally suspended Rubiales for 90 days due to the incident, and the Spanish football federation has called for his resignation. In defense of Hermoso, Williamson stated that it is conditioned behavior for women to laugh off incidents like this. She empathized with Hermoso, recognizing the sadness that must come with having her greatest sporting achievement overshadowed by such an ordeal. Williamson also expressed frustration that there is still a discussion surrounding the incident, even after the release of the video. She commended Hermoso for her bravery in reporting it and taking a stand against inappropriate treatment. Williamson strongly criticized the sexist and misogynistic environment that leads to such behavior. Earlier reports suggest that FIFA is considering a 15-year ban for Rubiales, and the Spanish football federation has withdrawn their support for him. Rubiales sent the video of Hermoso laughing about the incident to FIFA, which may support his case. The Spanish FA has now asked Rubiales to step down from his position. The manager of the England team, Sarina Wiegman, addressed the situation during her acceptance speech for the UEFA Women’s Coach of the Year award, dedicating the award to the Spanish team. Aitana Bonmati, the UEFA Women’s Player of the Year, also showed support for her teammate, Hermoso, and voiced her concerns about the situation in Spanish football.
