In a statement, the federation said that it would take the “necessary legal action” and told the female players that “playing for the national team is an obligation on any member of the federation called upon to do so”.

So violating an individual’s rights is acceptable as long as ‘the public’ accepts it?
And if so, who is ‘the public’? I feel I’m also part of the public in that case, and don’t accept it.
No, not ‘they’. It was just him, can’t see any wrongdoing by her.
‘They’ being the Spanish futbol federation, I believe.
In that case the Spanish federation appears to be Rubiales alone. In the meantime he has been suspended by the world federation, and with the pressure from Spanish politics and all tbe others we can hope that he ‘will be resigned’ soon.
Yes, that’s what I meant
Zero tolerance policies suck. There has to be some room for forgiveness.
@P03 Locke
That may or may not be true as a generic statement, but in the given case it’s far too late for forgiveness. This man crossed more than one line.
I think if the actions he took afterwards that are being reported are true, the time for forgiveness is way past, as you say.

Well, I said “assuming it was a first offence”. I don’t know anything about this guy or his history. If it has happened before, it’s a whole different story. The scenario of “simply apologize” doesn’t apply for repeat offenders, obviously. Also the apology-scenario doesn’t apply now anymore, it could’ve applied as a first response, but they (the entire soccer league) chose to be dicksheads instead.
