Luis Rubiales gave evidence in the trial against him and said he is "completely sure" Jenni Hermoso gave consent for him to kiss her after Spain won the Women's World Cup.

Rubiales also said he had "kissed many footballers" while celebrating in the past.

"It's OK, I usually sexually assault women" isn't the defence he seems to think it is.

Not defending Rubiales - he seems like a douche… but WTF?He gave her, what appears now to be, a non-consensual peck on the lips. A man from a kissing culture whose team just won their first WC. Sure, in hindsight he shouldn’t have, but a trial in both the courts and media. Such a waste of time.

For once, a figure that was in power is being checked by the system and media.

He did wrong and he thinks it was ok.

Instead of apologizing he doubled and tripled down.

He wouldn't have kissed a male footballer in a similar situation.

For once? Ever heard of the Me Too Movement - which this is certainly related to? And how do we know he wouldn’t have kissed a male footballer like that? The context of this kiss, when it happened, was not, “I do what I want because I’m strong and you are weak”. It was elation for winning the WC.

No doubt his handling of this has been poor. All he had to do was apologize, but at the time it was just a moment where he lost himself in the excitement… and she laughed about it after. My initial comment was in reaction to people calling this sexual assault - which this is not, IMO.

"I've sexually assaulted loads of women" isn't the defence you think it is

filipamvieira.bsky.social•106 days ago

I’m not sure admitting he kissed many players before is a good strategy…

sambskyversion.bsky.social•106 days ago

Uhhhhhhhhhhhh judge should increase the sentence just for that

fhellstarck.bsky.social•106 days ago

He basically admitted to SA on other women.

ubie-fuzzman.bsky.social•106 days ago

Have y’all actually watched the moment in question? This whole thing is so dumb.

fhellstarck.bsky.social•106 days ago

He sexually assaulted a woman on live TV.

ubie-fuzzman.bsky.social•106 days ago

So you’re saying that a nonconsensual celebratory kiss is sexual assault? Come on man.

fhellstarck.bsky.social•106 days ago

He kissed her without consent. That's sexual assault. You even admit it's without consent. A sexual act without consent is at least sexual assault.

geekafrique.bsky.social•106 days ago

My guy😂 so when she was shocked and clearly lurchex back you took that as " hell yeah she down"... Also how many other players? We need them to actually stand against this as it won't help football culture if he actually successfully defends his actions. In school if we force kissed a girl...trouble
