Why is the BBC still using this disgusting photo for thumbnails? Could've just used a photo of Rubiales alone.

He's so out of touch.

They should have jailed him for sexual assault, leaving the stadium in a squad car, not a limo.

"I'm ready to be vilified to defend my ideals,"

Ok. He's a gross, sexist man who any organization should be embarrassed to have as a representative.

"I grabbed that part of my body that you have already seen"

Ah, so he's done this sort of thing before. Repeat behavior, unapologetic and doubling down on it. This should take the Spanish FA less than 24 hours to kick him out and issue an apology statement for having kept him on for as long as they did.

Damn, those drones sitting in the audience clapping is equally disgusting.
