The Spanish football federation has threatened to sue the 79 women’s football players who signed a letter in which they refused to play for their country as long as the federation president, Luis Rubiales, remains in his post.
In a statement, the federation said that it would take the “necessary legal action” and told the players that “playing for the national team is an obligation on any member of the federation called upon to do so”.
Decency is an obligation as well, but here we are threatening female players who show solidarity against sexual harassment.
Update: apparently he is done after Fifa stepping in.
What a shitshow and disgrace though.
You know it is bad when FIFA has to be the one to do the right thing.
Right‽
