Spain football federation threatens to sue protesting female players

The Spanish football federation has threatened to sue the 79 women’s football players who signed a letter in which they refused to play for their country as long as the federation president, Luis Rubiales, remains in his post.

In a statement, the federation said that it would take the “necessary legal action” and told the players that “playing for the national team is an obligation on any member of the federation called upon to do so”.

Just to really fuck with them. They could turn up for the game and just lose every game. Like, turn up and just do nothing as a form of protest.

Get them to show up with lawn chairs and just sit in the middle of the field.

Lawn chairs are prohibited equipment.

Lazy boys, they say nothing about lazy boys.

Perhaps they could field a team of Golden Retrievers. It's my understanding that no sport has a rule against dogs playing.

Just stroll towards the ball and never attempt a tackle or anything.
