  • The Spanish Football Federation Boss, Luis Rubiales, has been suspended for 90 days following a controversy surrounding his unsolicited kiss on the mouth of Jennifer Hermoso, star forward for the Women's World Cup champions, Spain. The incident has sparked a global outcry, with Hermoso and 80 other Spanish footballers and male squad players boycotting the national team in protest. Additionally, nearly all coaching staff for the women's team have resigned. Rubiales has refused to resign, claiming to be a victim of a witch-hunt by false feminists. Despite the public backlash, the Spanish Football Federation stands by Rubiales and vows to pursue all legal actions in his defense. However, this controversy has put Spain in a negative light, highlighting the challenges faced by female footballers and raising hopes for change within the sport.

  • What should have united a nation...
  • There it is!
  • Spain are the Women's World Cup champions!
  • ..has instead sparked a global outcry.
  • Luis Rubiales still refuses to resign...
  • ..over his unsolicited kiss on the mouth of Jennifer Hermoso.
  • Now the Football Federation has accused her and others of lying.
  • Star forward Jenny Hermoso calling Luis Rubiales' behaviour out.
  • I felt vulnerable and a victim of an impulse-driven, sexist, out-of-place act without any consent on my part.
  • Simply put, I was not respected.
  • The fallout from the post-victory so-called embrace escalating.
  • Hermoso and 80 other Spanish footballers and players from the male squad boycotting the national team in protest.
  • Penalty!
  • Nearly all the coaching staff for the women's team have resigned.
  • The uproar forcing FIFA's hand.
  • The Football Federation provisionally suspending Rubiales for 90 days after he defied calls to resign, claiming he's a victim of a witch-hunt by false feminists.
  • And that she lifted him up and consented to a little kiss.
  • Do you think I should resign?
  • Well, I'm going to tell you something.
  • I'm not going to resign.
  • I'm not going to resign.
  • I'm not going to resign.
  • Spain's Football Federation is standing by their man, saying it would pursue all legal actions in defence of Rubiales despite the public backlash.
  • Rubiales, mafioso, te echan por baboso.
  • His bizarre public displays highlighting the hidden challenges female footballers often face.
  • And a lot of people have come out, men as well, saying, this man, Luis Rubiales, he doesn't represent us.
  • He doesn't represent us as a nation.
  • He doesn't represent us as a society.
  • While there's hope this global rage will spark change within football, it has come at a cost.
  • It has put Spain in a very bad light.
  • And instead of talking about the incredible accolades and the achievements of the women's national team, we are still talking about a man who, unfortunately, did abuse his position of power and, unfortunately,
  • Created a controversy that never should have happened in the first place.
  • Well, former soccer root Craig Foster joins us now.
  • Fozzie, how on earth does this guy still have his job?
  • Yeah, Hamish, that's a question that we get to ask too often in football, but certainly, particularly when it comes to girls' and women's rights and the protection and safety within the game globally.
  • And, again, you've seen here over 80 female players stepping forward and saying, we will not play for the national team, we do not support, you know, this sexist, this misogynist and this type of behaviour.
  • And yet, you know, you see too little support from either the federation itself or even, I think, from male players, both in Spain and around the world.
  • And through this kind of, you know, this issue, you can see where the real power lies.
  • Still in global football, it lies predominantly with the men because we still don't have enough representation and access to decision-making for women at any real level of the game.
  • And that's why I'm hoping that this issue here is a trigger for change at governance level across football globally.
  • How is this news being received in Spain itself?
  • And what's going on with the Spanish football community that there is so much support for this guy?
  • Yeah, so, predominantly, women across all of Spanish football are saying that he has to go and that they're not going to engage in...
  • ..and even play for the national team itself.
  • And if you guys recall, you know, some time before the actual Women's World Cup that was played recently, they already had a revolt of the players.
  • There was 15 players that said, there's a toxic culture within this environment, with this coach and inside the Spanish federation, and we are not going to play.
  • And only three of them actually came back to the team.
  • So you've seen this all now come out.
  • In a way, it's good that it is so public because it demonstrates the lack of access and the barriers that women still face in so many federations and in their national teams around the world.
  • I mean, you saw Jamaica, Canada, you know, allegations against the Zambia coach, Columbia issues, whether it's financial or otherwise in terms of culture and, you know, and mistreatment of women.
  • We see it everywhere around the world.
  • And the only way to solve this, and it might be part of the legacy of this extraordinarily brilliant and strong women's Spanish football team, is to get women into power positions at FIFA and across all of the federations around the world.
  • Blonda, this possibly was women's football's finest hour.
  • How disappointing for you is it that this is the headline?
  • I think it's disappointing for the Spanish women, of course, because, you know, they should be celebrating what is, you know, an astounding achievement.
  • And the real power and impact of this is the fact that it was in front of the world.
  • From my perspective, I think it just magnifies the impact of the World Cup.
  • It was extraordinary for all of us.
  • We loved it here in Australia, but ultimately the main legacy piece that needs to come out of it is for women to have access to the governing council of FIFA.
  • There's just six women out of 37. In all of Europe, which is the strongest confederation in the world, there's only three women out of 24.
  • So it's time, through this horrendous, you know, situation that Spain have found themselves in, it's time for all women in football around the world to step forward and say, we want equal access inside these organisations where the power and the privilege resides.
  • And when that happens, we'll see in future that these things will no longer be the case.
  • Fozzie, great to chat as always, thanks.
  • Alright, my pleasure.
  • This is the next step in these conversations.
  • For so long, we've talked about women's football, women's sport in general, being represented on our screens, having more girls get into these games.
  • Now that we're kind of getting to that stage where women's sport is being more respected, these kinds of decisions about getting women into leadership positions within women's sport are so important.
  • Well, the statistics that Fozzie's quoting there are so stark, right?
  • It's ridiculous.
  • Like three women on a board or six women on another board.
  • Do you reckon this guy would still have that job if there was a different balance?
  • Not a chance in hell.
  • And you just, you can see how this situation was treated when the mutiny happened last year with those players that went, we don't want to play.
  • They called their bluff.
  • The Spanish team went, fine, we'll just get all the underlings in and give them a shot.
  • It's such a shame given how amazing the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand was.
  • Like it was, for those players, I mean, I can't even imagine what it would have been like being part of that for the Spanish team to win such an extraordinary victory, but for them this to be the kind of aftertaste for them as they return home.
  • You know, we all wanted to see them having the ticker tape parade.
  • Yeah, absolutely.
  • And for him to brush it off, like it's sort of, you know, that is actually a violation and she's right, it is a matter of respect.
  • If you think you can just go whack a kiss on somebody's lips without even, you know, like you can't.
  • Go away.
  • Well said.
  • Seriously, just go away.
  • Go away.
