That’s an asinine, empty threat. The players clearly have public opinion on their side. All FIFA is doing is advertising how out of touch they are. FIFA is begging to be put in their place.
I mean, to be fair to FIFA (did I just type that?) they have suspended him: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/aug/26/fifa-suspends-luis-rubiales-from-all-football-related-activity-over-hermoso-kiss
EDIT - ha, forgot what thread I was on and didn’t realise I’d just shared the OP link! Oh well
It’s the Spanish FA who need to step up though, they’re making absolute fools of themselves.
Sexists close ranks around each other to protect their own. This probably only ends after the Spanish FA has been completely rebuilt.
The Spanish Federation is threatening the players not FIFA.
Umm… have you seen how sexist football fans are?
Oh, I mean the general public, now that it’s international news. If it was just the fans, I’d be much more worried.
