BBC News - Luis Rubiales: Spanish FA will take legal action over Jennifer Hermoso 'lies'
The Spanish football federation says it will take legal action over Jenni Hermoso's comments about its president Luis Rubiales.
What lies? A video exists.
I have to say, I really don’t know the finer points of this, but I’ve personally witnessed women who were okay with sexual advances until their friends told them not to be.
Peer pressure is a powerful force, especially for those who have difficulty thinking for themselves. I don’t know if this is an individual who would maintain their stance if everyone around them was telling them to change it.
This is how they behave when the eyes of the world are watching…
Notice how her entire team immediately took her side? This isn't the first time he's done something like this, and she's not the first person on the team he's done it to, either.
That head grab before the kiss though. Looks like he is used to forcing these things.
What a disgusting POS. He needs to be dismissed with extreme prejudice and disgraced.
That is just sick...
This guy is a sick POS.
Those who doesn't want to bend (i.e resign) they will break (get fired)
People are so quick with conclusions without actual information.
If you read the article, it is about whether the person gave consent or not for the kiss.
We as just observers on the internet, have no idea about that. So why drawing conclusions?
EDIT you can downvote all you want, since it doesn’t mean anything on here. However let me ask:
Were you next to both of them when it happened? I’m assuming not, so how do you know the facts? Conclusions without facts are just random opinions.
There's a significant difference between claiming some things was spontaneous and actually getting consent. This guy wasn't in a relationship with the player where this type of behavior would have been previously cleared. He's not even claiming that he asked permission. In this case you would have to assume mutual spontaneous consent. That is what he's claiming. However, one party has clearly said it wasn't mutual consent. So now you either have to assume the victim is lying or you take the logical path and realize that there's photographic evidence of a powerful figure, who doesn't claim to have asked for consent, assaulting a female athlete and showing no regard or remorse for that behavior.
He’s not even claiming that he asked permission.
I read that he asked her and she said it was okay. Of course, this is his account of things, but it really is just his word vs. hers on this matter.
Unless someone has a microphone that could've picked up the exchange.
First of all thanks for an actual argument without throwing insults and such.
You are right indeed, about actual consent, spontaneousness/ spontaneous consent. One party says it was spontaneous consent and the other party said it was not, so how do we as the internet observer what it truly was?
I mean, certainly if it was not, he should resign and such. I would like to say though, I never said that there was no photographic evidence. This matter is an she versus he said.
Dude, Hermoso herself said it was non consensual. How can you justify suing HER since it happened to HER. Do you know what she was thinking?
My point is, people here pretend as if they know everything what has truly happened. While we are just observers, we do not know actually has been said at that right moment (or do we?). I do not justify anything, never claimed I was justifying anything.
Certainly he can he an ''POS'' but I don't know. I don't know him that much, do not follow him and do not know him personally.
Christ. How sad do you have to be to go to bat for this pos.
We as just observers on the internet
George Orwell:
The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.
There is something to be said about missing perspectives from outsiders and even the ease of digital modifications of images, in a completely different situation that this mushbrained loser is trying to apply to this one for some reason.
Right, just fill in what you don't know with what you'd like to believe.
Possibly the most frustrating kind of troll
Impartiality isn't good on platforms like these.
It's all a rabid chase for upvotes by having the 'popular' opinion, regardless of if it's right.
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.
