he kissed by force! Disgusting media that supports abusers!
Dumb. There are bigger issues in the world.
This is so stupid and no one actually cares! A chance to virtue signal. YUCK!

"Females are allegedly so tough that they are fit to serve cheek-by-jowl with males in military combat units. Yet they also claim fragility, vulnerability, and weakness. Which is it?" – Heather Macdonald.
These womxn are garbage.
Woman are such victims. No man should work for this team anymore. They just to destroy you over nothing.
It's absolutely stupid… I saw two adults celebrating both passionate Spanish people. I saw nothing sinister at all.. total crap..
😂
Type "football hug kiss" into google, click "images".
Kissing a woman that isn't your girlfriend on the lips during a trophy/medal ceremony is a celebration. are signs of predatory behavior !!! Makes me sick and the investigation must be broadened and deepened !!! There is more that doesn't meet the eye

So you can throw banana's and say the most vile racist abuse and nothing happens but give someone a kiss and everyone is in a frenzy, asking people to resign, boycotts and going on hunger strikes? If that doesn't wake up black people that shows other races hate us then we deserve all what they do to us!!!!! 😂😂😂
All this would not have happened if people continued to wear "masks".. Good God!
Heat of the moment Celebratory Peck
People being bombed and killed in the Ukraine and this is turned into a major issue, do they want to drive the guy to suicide.
Its time men distanced themselves for women's football lets them get on with it.
Rubiales:
“No voy a dimitir.
No voy a dimitir.
No voy a dimitir.
No voy a dimitir.”
“Voy a dimitir.”
Translation:
Rubiales:
"I will not resign" X 5 times
"I will resign"… Haha…. 🤣😂😁
glad to know they are even crazier than we in the US are. What a tempest in a teapot.
First day: "I will NOT resign, will NOT, NO RESIGNATION… I WILL NOT RESIGN… NO, I WILL NOT RESIGN!!!!"….
Today: "Yeah, I resign… " … 😂🤣😁
Ah yes the old kissig trick
Ridiculous overreaction. He shouldn't have done it but criminal charges is stupid. It's no worse than when Justin Trudeau inappropriately accosted Bianca ( in a celebration of her US Open victory). Not one media outlet complained. Bianca was put in a uncomfortable position. I mean, what is she supposed to do, say heh Justin back off. I invite anyone to look at the photos of him hugging her. It's disgusting. I say it's worse than the kiss. Again, he shouldn't have kissed her. Check out Justin and you decide what's worse…
Why wasn't she upset when he kissed her? A person who is truly offended or assaulted is upset at the exact time the offense happens.
I don’t think Mr. Luis Rubiales would have tried to kiss the lips or hold the head of a male soccer player like that, though. Definately an buse of power. He apparently had something else in mind as it seems. https://youtube.com/shorts/4blBMsXKLb8?feature=share
She is on video celebrating the kiss. I think the meetoo people got to her. Next is a civil lawsuite. I don’t think this lady has any idea she is being used as a pawn. The whole team was celebrating the kiss too. Either way the guy is toast. Cancelled and flushed
The kiss was inappropriate. Is discipline warranted? Sure. Would this be news if the genders were reversed? I don’t think so. I’m tired of selective outrage.
This is not going to make me want to watch women's soccer. Let her know.
But then shes laughing and joking about it on the bus (video taken by teammates) chanted "kiss kiss" showed and laughed at photos while Rosales can be heard in the background saying "stop, youre embarrassing me" Youd think shed be angry..but , nope. A few days of media pressure and from the "equal rights" community no doubt helped her 'see the light. Im in Spain, and 99.9% of people dont care at all, its media blowing it up.
There’s a country being invaded and it’s people murdered. But everyone’s wanting to step in and be outraged about a celebratory peck? I wonder how anyone is going to be able to go on after getting a kiss for God’s sake. What weird world.
I;m a staunch men's rights and pro male. But I agree with the soccer player here. What the dude did was wrong. Many of those soccer players don't like that (you know what I'm trying to say) and their wishes should be honored.
It’s possible to be wrong and not worthy of people getting fired over. It feels like society no longer has rational responses…. It’s always extreme.
I think there is just a secret ploy to kick Luis rubiales from office because I see no problem with the kiss, did rubiales kiss a child?
Jenni Hermoso is a grown up and infact she has not complained.
We live in a world where many people have the ed themselves to be women defenders and they favour the feminine gender over men alot!
So sad

The best part is girls love bad boys. When it is said and done, This guy is going to get a lot of puss*es. But it is only kiss. It is not a big deal.
Considering how tight he was holding her head…if she wanted to pull away she couldn’t 😩
Just pretend that he is Biden
He should identify as a female,then he go shower with them and use their bathroom too🤣
So, was he really trying to get his jollies? Really? Is he likely to be attracted to Hermoso and to express it so publicly? Get a grip folks. It looked like an innocent kiss at an enormous high point in their combined careers. This is yet another storm in a bloody teacup. Next, women everywhere will wonder why guys are steering clear of them. So glad I'm happily married and not in the dating game.🙂
This man is gross. He reminds me of the Dalai Lama when he kissed that boy.
It looks like he's been done it before and for him that behavior was normal or acceptable but its not. He is sick, and must look for help.
You do not force no body to get a kiss hug etc. He lives in the ancient year where abusived of people without any consequence.
Talk about making a mountain out of a mole hill.
