I don’t know why people are still angry with Luis Rubiales, if the man has already explained himself. Let’s reconstruct his version, as he’s had time to work it out (and, ahem, think about it) in recent days. On Friday, he explained that, indeed, being in the box with the Queen and the Infanta of Spain, he ostensibly touched his genitals, but this was not a spontaneous gorilla gesture, but a sympathetic wink at the selector , Jorge Vilda, who was looking at him at that very moment (he did know how to understand it perfectly, without malicious falsehoods).
The kiss with Jenni Hermoso was mutual and consensual. Poor Rubiales was greeting the players when Hermoso, his great friend, grabbed him by lifting him up in a wild way (he almost fell) and, of course, in such a situation, what occurred to him was that it was appropriate that kiss each other on the mouth. As someone who is enormously respectful of women (don’t forget that he has three daughters and, although for modesty he doesn’t brag about it, also a mother), he kept in mind the importance of consent in all physical contact and, so that there was no no doubt, he asked him directly: “A kiss on the lips?”. And Hermoso, euphoric and excited, replied: “Okay” and slapped him on the side, the very small one. Later, in the dressing room, they caught up (also to each other) as they both joked about their future wedding in Ibiza (what Jenni’s got). Spontaneously, Hermoso wrote a statement – which, to make things easier for her, in case she couldn’t find Wi-Fi, he spread the same federation – in which he said that the kiss “was a totally spontaneous mutual gesture due to the immense joy of win a World Cup The president and I have a great relationship, his behavior with all of us has been top notch and it was a natural gesture of affection and gratitude. A gesture of friendship and gratitude cannot be given more spin.” That of her later statements saying the opposite is only because of the manipulation that the girl has suffered by the Podemite feminist extremism – not the real one, which Rubiales has always defended.
Well now things have finally become clear. There must be bad faith not to see it that way, right?
