"I Did Not Consent": Spanish Women's World Cup WinnerJenni Hermoso's Big Claim On 'Kiss' Row Involving Federation Chief Luis Rubiales
Spanish Women's World Cup winning midfielder Jenni Hermoso said she did not consent to being kissed by the country's federation chief Luis Rubiales, after he refused to resign Friday following worldwide outcry over the incident. In a statement released by women players' union Futpro, Hermoso and 80 other players said they would not accept an international call-up "if the current leadership continues" at the Spanish football federation. Rubiales, 46, said in a defiant speech at an emergency RFEF meeting that his kiss on Hermoso's lips was "mutual, euphoric and consensual" and that she had said "OK" when he asked her if he could give her "a peck".
