Ego above dignity’: Luis Rubiales’ defiance over kiss shocks Spain

 Ego above dignity’: Luis Rubiales’ defiance over kiss shocks Spain

Women’s and men’s players and clubs join politicians in condemning football chief’s refusal to resign




For a brief moment, it looked like it would be a victory for feminism. After days of uproar across Spain and around the world, media reports had suggested that Spain’s football chief, Luis Rubiales, would step down over the kiss he planted on forward Jenni Hermoso’s lips during the Women’s World Cup medal presentation on Sunday.


Yet instead of announcing his departure at an emergency meeting of the football federation on Friday, he left many Spaniards in shock by defiantly declaring “I will not resign” five times in a meandering speech that hit out at “false feminism” while also seeking to portray himself as a victim and recast the kiss as “a peck”.
