BBC News - Luis Rubiales: Spanish FA will take legal action over Jennifer Hermoso 'lies'BobTheBoozer@lemmy.world to World News@lemmy.world – 178 points – 1 years agobbc.co.uk80Post a CommentPreviewYou are viewing a single commentView all commentsShow the parent comment@bobman @ModernRisk I think she said she didn't. So that's clear. It's surprising he hasn't apologised. But it shows how strong the culture of misogyny is in that organization that he feels he can brazen it out.I mean, it wouldn't make sense for him to apologize if he isn't lying about her saying yes. I'm not saying he's right, but I don't have audio of what happened so I just have to pick who I want to believe or admit I don't know.@bobman There seems to have been a bad culture of sexism in Spanish football with many women refusing to play. I see no reason to disbelieve her. Why should she agree to be kissed by her boss. Someone that high profile is paid a lot of money to provide good leadership. He obviously felt that he had the power to behave that way. Which is exactly the problem.That's a good take.
