Spanish football federation threatens to sue player Jenni Hermoso over kiss ‘lies’
theguardian.com
In a statement, the federation said that it would take the “necessary legal action” and told the female players that “playing for the national team is an obligation on any member of the federation called upon to do so”.

Threatening to sue doesn't sound like apologizing though.
That's in response to the calls for resignation. He just wants to keep his job.
People want a lot of things they're not likely to get.
Sometimes when you fuck up, you don't get to keep your job afterwards. Quadrupling down and suing because you fucked up and don't want to take your lumps just makes you look worse in the long run.
Right, people should never defend themselves and just go with what popular opinion demands of them. Because social media is always right about such things.
Aside from the massive strawman here, you're defending a dude who sexually assaulted a player under them in public and on film.
In this case, yes, exactly what you said entirely unironically. He shouldn't defend himself for committing sexual assault because that's unacceptable no matter what, and he should have gone with the popular demands to step down for committing an unacceptable act. Because social media is right in this case.
Well, agree to disagree. I think that's way too harsh and unfair. Too black and white.
You can agree to disagree if you want, but I won't and think you're entirely you're wrong. And thankfully FIFA doesn't agree with you and have suspended him for the kiss.
Sexual assault is never ok, and I hope he gets bounced from the league. I also hope your type that justifies gross and unacceptable behavior find that they're not welcome either.
FIFA only does that because of public pressure, or else they would've done so a week ago.
So? Public pressure works to give proper repercussions to sexual assualters in old boys clubs, and it's doing what it should here.
I really don't understand why you're riding this so hard to defend a sex pest....
If giving someone a kiss makes you a sex pest then I guess you can call me one too.
Ok, youre a sex pest, N1cknamed
You appear to agree, as well
Luckily my girlfriend felt different about it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Sex pests don't generally understand the difference between consensual and nonconsensual experiences, so that perfectly tracks why you're confused about this whole situation.
"Sexual assault is bad" is too black and white for you?
Okay, so you're arguing that this guy should be let alone after he allegedly lied. He said it was the female player who told him to kiss in her lips. That's your position. Alright, everyone, he keeps his job, nothing to see here!
I'm saying I believe they can figure it out amongst themselves without massive international attention. Social media has this tendency to blow things way out of proportion despite not even knowing any of the context. I don't know what the fair resolution would be, but it seems odd to me that this mans life should be ruined over a kiss.
@N1cknamed
This was not 'a kiss', this was sexual assault.
Same thing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I mean, he's the god-damn head of the national football association. Of course, that person is unfit for that role.
