Different public figures continue to express their opinion on the controversy that arose around the kiss that Luis Rubiales gave the soccer player Jennifer Hermoso in the World Cup final held in Australia.
The Spanish women’s soccer team won the final of the world tournament against England after Olga Carmona scored a winner on the scoreboard. During the celebration and the collection of medals, the manager grabbed and kissed Jennifer Hermoso without her consent (something he denies), something that has cost him the suspension from the position by FIFA, social rejection and millions of criticisms in our country and around the world.
Although a few days ago we saw how Juanma Castaño or Manolo Lama became the center of all criticism for defending Rubiales’ attitude or downplaying the matter, this time the networks have exploded against Santiago Cañizares for defending the position of those athletes who they have not spoken.
The exporter participated in El partidazo de COPE on Sunday, August 27. While the journalist Miguel Rico expressed his opinion on the matter and stressed that the male professional soccer players, “because of their proximity to the issue and solidarity with their teammates,” should have supported the players, Cañizares justified his attitude: “They don’t want to comment because they understand that there is a moment in which, in this process during this week, politics arrives. Politics enters fully and they say ‘where there is politics, don’t count on me”’.
Faced with such statements, the sports journalist Mónica Marchante expressed her opinion and refuted her arguments: “This is not a political issue, it is a social issue, and to say that it is a political issue is to throw balls out.”
The intervention of Cañizares in the radio program presented by Juanma Castaño has positioned him as a new public enemy, since, as a user on the net said, the former Valencia player has positioned himself politically when making these statements.
”Cañizares does not have the capacity to understand what is happening. But it is logical…”, ”Silence is an accomplice, here and everywhere in the world”, ”That is called cowardice. Period”, ”Cañizares embarrassing others”, ”To say that this is a political issue is to make excuses for a bad payer” or ”If you don’t want to get wet because you would agree with people who represent an ideology that you do not support You should still reconsider your supports” are some of the comments that can be read on the Internet.
