Right, people should never defend themselves and just go with what popular opinion demands of them. Because social media is always right about such things.
Aside from the massive strawman here, you're defending a dude who sexually assaulted a player under them in public and on film.
In this case, yes, exactly what you said entirely unironically. He shouldn't defend himself for committing sexual assault because that's unacceptable no matter what, and he should have gone with the popular demands to step down for committing an unacceptable act. Because social media is right in this case.
Well, agree to disagree. I think that's way too harsh and unfair. Too black and white.
You can agree to disagree if you want, but I won't and think you're entirely you're wrong. And thankfully FIFA doesn't agree with you and have suspended him for the kiss.
Sexual assault is never ok, and I hope he gets bounced from the league. I also hope your type that justifies gross and unacceptable behavior find that they're not welcome either.
FIFA only does that because of public pressure, or else they would've done so a week ago.
So? Public pressure works to give proper repercussions to sexual assualters in old boys clubs, and it's doing what it should here.
I really don't understand why you're riding this so hard to defend a sex pest....
"Sexual assault is bad" is too black and white for you?
