When Luis Rubiales grabbed Jenni Hermoso and planted a kiss on her lips during Spain’s World Cup celebrations, my jaw dropped in shock and horror.
I’ve heard people argue that taken in isolation the kiss was an emotional response in the heat of the moment but I don’t buy it, particularly given the context of the power struggle between the Spain players and their federation (RFEF). The fact that Rubiales, the federation president, felt he could touch Jenni, grab her and kiss her in that way spoke volumes. He needs to go. He needs to be sacked.
