Soccer players and the officials who manage them often seem to have a flair for the dramatic, but this takes the cake.
Video of the kiss in question:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=klGN4lvgWdM
Rubiales says it was a consensual kiss and that star player, Jenni Hermoso, is being silent about the verbal exchange that led to it. He claims he is being called to resign by "false feminists" and is digging in his heels and refusing to do so. A strange way to celebrate the greatest victory in Spain's national soccer program's history, men or women.
Round up the usual suspects, Louie!

Apparently, Rubiales also grabbed his junk beofre the kiss. From the ESPN link: "Rubiales gave a lengthy account of his actions following Spain's victory in the Women's World Cup final, which included grabbing his crotch in the immediate aftermath of the win, and the unsolicited kiss on Hermoso's lips during the medal presentation ceremony. 'In a moment of euphoria, I grabbed that part of my body,' Rubiales said."

Well now, that's just a very quick peck, dontcha think? Not saying right or wrong, but it doesn't seem like he was satisfying his prurient needs or anythingd. It might be non-consensual, but it's hard to call that sexual assault, in my book.

Hermoso has denied Rubiales
Hermoso has denied Rubiales version of the events. He's claiming she has changed her story.
https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/38263134/fifa-suspends-luis-rubia...
FIFA has suspended Rubiales for 90 days. The entire Spanish Women's National Team has stated "will not return to the national team if the current leaders continue."
So much for the Spanish victory celebration.

I'd like to see what would happen if Spanish False Ken planted a kiss on a male player. And it's obviously about the lack of consent, if anyone is defending this guy's actions (and his subsequent misogynistic BS) you really need to educate yourself.

Rubiales mother has now locked herself in a church and began a hunger strike in protest of her son's persecution, calling it a "witch hunt":

The Spaniards sure know how to bring the drama. Brings to mind the Monty Python line:
No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!
Wonder if those My Other Car Is A Broom bumper stickers are popular over there?
