“Spain and Spanish football do not deserve a representative of this level,” the statement read.
The F League filed a complaint with the Higher Sports Council this Wednesday requesting the disqualification of Luis Rubiales “for the very serious acts and conduct of the President of the Royal Spanish Football Federation in the context of the Women’s World Cup Final.” “.
This is the full official statement from League F
“One of the greatest achievements in the history of Spanish sport has been tarnished by the embarrassing behavior of the highest representative of Spanish football, who once again, guided by his constant and habitual desire for leadership, has proved unequal to the task. it in
Celebrating the triumph in the box of authorities clutching their genitals next to HM the Queen and Her Royal Highness the Infanta Doña Sofía is intolerable and disgusting. For a boss to grab his worker by the head and kiss her on the mouth simply cannot be tolerated. Publicly labeling those who denounce such attitudes as “assholes, morons and scumbags” is intolerable and abhorrent. Subsequent justifications do not reflect his thinking and are, as the prime minister described it, “inadequate”.
It’s not just about the kiss. It is an attitude that is far removed from the values of our society. An attitude that has gone down in the history of world sport and that – very seriously – will forever be associated with our women’s national team.
This behavior has caused historic social alarm worldwide, drawing rejection and contempt from the political class, the media and prominent representatives of culture, art or sport. This is an unprecedented international disgrace for the Spanish brand, for Spanish sport and for world women’s football. While the world should have its eyes on our footballers, the president managed to get the eyes of the world to focus on his “masculinity”.
The Professional Women’s Soccer League is the symbol of change. It is a recognition of the commitment and sacrifice of so many footballers, so many clubs and so many people who have fought for decades for the role of women in football. And for this reason, as an institution, out of conviction, responsibility and respect for the sport, we cannot let this episode pass without consequences.
Big changes usually come after big crises. The unity that Spanish society shows, the success of our footballers, women’s football and women in sport will change the fate of sport and Spanish football and put an end to this kind of leadership and behaviour.
The seriousness of what happened, the damage caused and the unanimous global rejection force decisions to be made. Society has made itself clear. Spain and Spanish football do not deserve a representative of this level, and the institutions must guide and respond to the feelings of society.
It’s time to take a step forward. Otherwise it would be a humiliation for all women and the greatest defeat for Spanish sport and our country.”
