  1. I've been reading and hearing about this kiss for a long time now, and I just watched the video… This is so much ado about NOTHING!! I was sure he must have held her down while slobbering her silly. Better to abolish playing sports in Spain altogether- because people are going to make mistakes while playing, and this is obviously an atmosphere of EXTREME intolerance.

  2. Now its in Court How much dose she want,,,and how much are the Woman's football Association prepared to PAY her ,,,,and as a caveat to that NO males should be involved in woman's football if this is what it has come to,,,,,,,,

  3. Not trying to say I'm on the dude's side on this incident. But if FIFA was taking this seriously,
    then WHY couldn't they take it serious against Emi Martinez gesture actions in world cup celebration????
    This incident is just a WASTE of time compared to Martinez's moment!! 💀💀🤦🤦

  4. "Females are allegedly so tough that they are fit to serve cheek-by-jowl with males in military combat units. Yet they also claim fragility, vulnerability, and weakness. Which is it?" – Heather Macdonald.

  5. Kissing a woman that isn't your girlfriend on the lips during a trophy/medal ceremony is a celebration. are signs of predatory behavior !!! Makes me sick and the investigation must be broadened and deepened !!! There is more that doesn't meet the eye

  6. So you can throw banana's and say the most vile racist abuse and nothing happens but give someone a kiss and everyone is in a frenzy, asking people to resign, boycotts and going on hunger strikes? If that doesn't wake up black people that shows other races hate us then we deserve all what they do to us!!!!! 😂😂😂

  7. Ridiculous overreaction. He shouldn't have done it but criminal charges is stupid. It's no worse than when Justin Trudeau inappropriately accosted Bianca ( in a celebration of her US Open victory). Not one media outlet complained. Bianca was put in a uncomfortable position. I mean, what is she supposed to do, say heh Justin back off. I invite anyone to look at the photos of him hugging her. It's disgusting. I say it's worse than the kiss. Again, he shouldn't have kissed her. Check out Justin and you decide what's worse…

  8. She is on video celebrating the kiss. I think the meetoo people got to her. Next is a civil lawsuite. I don’t think this lady has any idea she is being used as a pawn. The whole team was celebrating the kiss too. Either way the guy is toast. Cancelled and flushed

  9. But then shes laughing and joking about it on the bus (video taken by teammates) chanted "kiss kiss" showed and laughed at photos while Rosales can be heard in the background saying "stop, youre embarrassing me" Youd think shed be angry..but , nope. A few days of media pressure and from the "equal rights" community no doubt helped her 'see the light. Im in Spain, and 99.9% of people dont care at all, its media blowing it up.

  10. There’s a country being invaded and it’s people murdered. But everyone’s wanting to step in and be outraged about a celebratory peck? I wonder how anyone is going to be able to go on after getting a kiss for God’s sake. What weird world.

  11. I;m a staunch men's rights and pro male. But I agree with the soccer player here. What the dude did was wrong. Many of those soccer players don't like that (you know what I'm trying to say) and their wishes should be honored.

  12. I think there is just a secret ploy to kick Luis rubiales from office because I see no problem with the kiss, did rubiales kiss a child?
    Jenni Hermoso is a grown up and infact she has not complained.
    We live in a world where many people have the ed themselves to be women defenders and they favour the feminine gender over men alot!
    So sad
