I watched the video and what that guy did was indefensible.
And yet
That’s a bit of old news. He been temporarily suspended by the FIFA during their own investigation today.
“Temporarily suspended” is not the same as “dismissed with extreme prejudice never to hold office ever again”. The latter is what’s called for and what these women deserve to see.
But it’s much better than backed by the entire direction of the national federation and threatening to pursue 80s sportwomen.
i.e. suspended until it blows over.
They can’t. First they must redo their image. Second do you belive CocaCola board is happy to see their logo next of the one of a group which support sexual harassment ? I don’t think so.
CocaCola does not care. Their brand will not suffer. If anything, they like that it makes the logo feel ubiquitous.
"Fifa Ethics Committee "?
Bit of an oxymoron really
Yeah, the “don’t fuck with our public image or the sponsors are going to leave” comitee. If they could have kicked him they would.
The last thing they want is their sponsors walking away for not be associated on the bad side of another #metoo
Temporararily is the keywprd here…
That dude just has to step down. He’s only making it worse for himself.
The bosses are never the irreplaceable part of a sports organization. The woman have talent. The boss is just a guy in a suit.
He will be gone if this move happens so it is good.
This guy deserves everything he’s getting. I just saw his speech where he kept saying that he wouldn’t step down. It really felt like he just felt invincible. And all these men clapping for him as well.
I obviously don’t know the all the details, and I really don’t want to defend behavior like this, but I feel like he might even have gotten away with it if he had strongly apologized immediately after finding out that the kiss really wasn’t appreciated. Instead he dug in and went full on the defensive.

Why are men running women’s sports?
