As women soccer players in Spain strike over pay, calls are growing for the head of Spain’s soccer federation to resign.
Football and the Boundaries of History, Brenda. It’s great to have you with us. Let’s start with the absolute top news that was breaking as we went to air, that Spanish state prosecutors have accused Luis Rubiales of sexual assault and coercion for kissing a player on the lips without her consent at the World Cup victory ceremony. So, he is now, apparently, going to be criminally charged, after Jenni Hermoso filed a criminal complaint against him. But the world saw what he did.
[translated] It is true that there has been some behavior — in this case, that of Mr. Rubiales — which shows that in our country there is still a long way to go in terms of equality and respect and the equalization of rights between women and men.So, this is very interesting. Even the prime minister cannot have him fired. And this has been the issue. I mean, they fired the coach, who supported Rubiales, though he had so many other issues, but they couldn’t get rid of Rubiales.
