Only a few hours after the president of the Spanish soccer federation adamantly refused to step down for his inappropriate actions towards a player at the Women’s World Cup medals ceremony, the players have announced that they will refuse to play until he resigns. In a joint statement issued by the players’ union, dozens of players stated that they will not take the field as long as the current managers are in charge. One player, Jennifer Hermoso, expressed that she did not give consent for the inappropriate kiss. The government has limited power to punish federation members, but steps are being taken to have the president suspended. This controversy highlights the ongoing issues of sexism within the Spanish women’s soccer program.
