The USA national team player Alex Morgan has come out in support of Jenni Hermoso in her row with the Spanish football federation (RFEF) president, Luis Rubiales, saying she was “disgusted” by how the Spain forward had been treated.
After Spain had won the World Cup on Sunday, Rubiales grabbed Hermoso by the head and kissed her on the mouth. On Friday the president said he would not resign and claimed Hermoso had consented to the kiss. Hours later Hermoso released a statement saying she had not, and added that she had been put under pressure by the RFEF to come out in support of the president.
