The President of the Spanish Soccer Federation, Luis Rubiales, has found himself at the center of a scandal after publicly shaming star player Jenni Hermoso for sharing a kiss with her partner during a World Cup celebration. Rubiales is facing a trial for his actions, which have sparked outrage and divided opinions across the nation.
The incident took place at a post-World Cup celebration where Hermoso was seen sharing a kiss with her partner in a private moment. Rubiales, who was present at the event, publicly criticized Hermoso for her behavior, leading to widespread backlash from fans and supporters.
Hermoso, a key player in Spain's successful World Cup campaign, has since spoken out about the incident, stating that she was shocked and disappointed by Rubiales' words. The trial is set to bring further attention to the issue of homophobia in the world of sports, with many calling for more inclusivity and acceptance in the industry.
As the trial unfolds, the outcome remains uncertain, but one thing is clear - the incident has put a spotlight on the need for greater respect and understanding in the world of sports.
