    They’ll wait and see what the public reaction is and what other dirt will come out about him before making a decision.

    Then, when there’s no possible way that they can justify keeping him, they’ll fire him and make out like they did it because they care about women’s voices.

    Look at how Man U handled the Greenwood ordeal. If they could’ve gotten away with it, I guarantee he would still be on the squad.

    Look at Deshaun Watson.

        The federation also said that, if selected, players have “an obligation” to play for the national team, after 81 female players said they will not represent Spain until Rubiales is removed from his post.

        Poor guy is getting a bad look. /s

        Fuck him. And fuck this org. “He did nothing wrong,even though it’s documented.”

          Go and select them then, and see what happens when your players take to the field playing touch rugby to fulfil their “obligation”.

        That’s very bold. Legal posturing and peacocking. Trying to control the narrative and limit damage before a token resignation and a settlement.
