As I alluded to earlier , plenty of women I’ve asked think the whole thing was ridiculous. I include both my wife and mother in those who both thought what he did was just a moment of joy and in no way a sexual assault. They both agree that he should have issued an apology if his actions were misconstrued but can’t believe that this became a story so big that it removed the likes of the Russian /Ukraine war off the news reports .
The sad thing is that the whole winning the World Cup was forgotten over some stupid kiss .

Can you repeat your study of women you know, with the additional information regarding the previous sleazy behaviour of Rubiales and Vilda? I'm curious if these women would still have the same opinion if they knew the history and that the kiss was the final straw.
 
So if a player scores a goal, he gets piled on by the team, he could get his whole team sacked or demand a massive payout from the club for non-consensual kisses.

I bet Rodwells on the phone to his brief as we speak.
 
It really is a ludicrous, mob-driven hysteria. A proper nonsense.

Unfortunately, the only thing that’s more de rigeur than being a supposed victim of something these days, is to be offended on someone else’s behalf.

People are just looking for things to be offended or appalled by - or at least to pretend to be offended or appalled by - so that they can then shout about how offended and appalled they are. It’s a mixture between a hysterical witch hunt culture, and a strange sort of narcissism.

He is being banned for the kiss , full stop .

If he has previous and is not a suitable person for the position he holds then it’s up to the Spanish FA to investigate and sack him . I have no problem with this and in reality he probably is an unpleasant and arrogant individual .

My problem is the whole “me too” style outcry over a kiss in the moment of celebration.
There has been more talk about this kiss than the poor German/ Jewish lady who was kidnapped, raped and beheaded by Hamas .

That just demonstrates a complete misunderstanding of all the issues surrounding this case.

Does anyone know if this is a WUM? It's pretty special.
 
Is the bigger, wider issue underpinning the whole thing your chronic lack of self awareness?

No, it’s the absolute determination of large numbers of people to have an online competition to see who can (claim to) be the most offended by something - and the hysterical shit that spills out from that.
