Luis Rubiales announced on his social channels the launch of an NFT initiative led by Moon Labs, a prominent technology firm based in the Republic of Korea. The move drew praise for Rubiales from several quarters, highlighting his influence on both Spanish and global football governance.
You can read the following in his statement:
“Do you really think this was a sexually violent assault? We say NO. Everyone knows this deep in their hearts. This is an insult to someone who has actually been sexually assaulted and hurt in her life. Yes, Luis made a small mistake, but the bigger mistake was letting football lose him in the process.”
“There are still many supporters who stand with him. The aim of this project is to establish an NFT tribute to Luis Rubiales for his contributions to Spanish football and his impact on the sport worldwide.”
“The generation of 2030 is logical, and many in South Korea pursue genuine equality beyond the radicalism and extremism seen in parts of the world.”
“That is why this project was launched to show support.”
“This may be a risky venture for the company, yet there is a firm belief that the path chosen is the right one, which is why this venture was begun.”
“We released this global NFT on January 17, 2024, in celebration of its 17th anniversary, with the support of our worldwide sponsors.”
This message speaks to those who embrace true equality and oppose radicalism or media manipulation.
