The president of Spain’s soccer federation has defiantly refused to resign for kissing a female player on the lips after the Women’s World Cup final. Luis Rubiales told a general assembly of the federation on Friday that his kiss with player Jenni Hermoso on Sunday in Sydney, Australia, was consensual. Hermoso strongly denied his version in a statement issued through her players union. Hermoso and her teammates say they will no longer play for Spain if Rubiales doesn’t step down, and Spain’s government says it will seek his suspension.
