For those that hadn't read the news. After the spain femenine football NT won the world cup, the president of the Spanish FA inappropriately kissed one the players in the lips during the celebration. The kiss is said to be against her will according to the player.
Obviously, this generated a massive controversy and calls for the president to resign. Sadly Rubiales (the fa president) did not resign and tried to minimize the situation.
As a result FIFA suspended him.
So far so good, but now it gets absurd.
The coach of the NT, was already a bit controversial. He was never accused of any improper behavior, but many of the former players didn't like his management style and some of them had tried to blackmail the Spanish FA in to firing him by refusing to be called.(he simply called other players as a result)
He was seen clapping for the fa president when he announced his renovation and some people think he was late to condemn the actions of Rubiales.
As a result of that, he was sacked just yesterday.
Now this is a woldcup winning Coach that did not behave inappropriately being fired as a result of most people being rightfully angry with the president and not being able to fire him instead.
In my opinion it's an irrational and emotional group thinking reaction, largely based on mindset of seeing gender as a proxy for morality.
