Tamara Ramos claims Luis Rubiales asked what colour her underwear was when they worked together
Spain’s football federation president Luis Rubiales is at the centre of new misogyny allegations as he faces growing calls to be sacked forThe country’s football federation chief, 46, has been widely condemned for planting a kiss on the lips of the footballer after her team’s 1-0 triumph over England in the Women’s World Cup final in Sydney on Sunday.
Spain’s women’s football league, La Liga F, joined the growing calls for Rubiales to resign and cited television footage after the final which appeared to show him grabbing his genitals with both hands to celebrate Spain’s victory. “One of the greatest feats in the history of Spanish sport has been tainted by the embarrassing behaviour of the highest representative of Spanish football who, once again, and guided by his continuous and habitual desire for leadership, has revealed to not be up to the position he occupies,” the women’s league added.“It’s not just about the kiss. Celebrating the triumph on the presidential balcony while holding his genitals next to the queen is unacceptable and disgusting.
