Do you think he should have resigned? Do you think the legal complaint being brought against him is justified?

Im still forming my opinion on the whole incident so I’m interested to hear what others think.

Primarily I don’t think he should have kissed her, certainly not in the way he did. And I don’t for a second believe his claims that he asked for consent by saying a little peck. And I believe he should have just publicly apologised for acting inappropriately and ruining a proud moment for women’s football in Spain.

However, I personally don’t think what happened merits a legal complaint being filed, nor the possibility of criminal charges. (Albeit I recognise his behaviour could technically fit the legal definition of an assault). I also think that if he’d just apologised that would have been sufficient without the need to resign or be suspended. But there may be facts or angles I haven’t considered so interested to hear more…

He only kissed her, no other team member, so yes it was an assault.
not that i think he should have kissed any of the others, a cheek kiss I might Ignore but a full smack on the lips and holding her head, was controlling.
Im disturbed that she patted his flanks right after but that was an involuntary response that we all do unintentionally in such situations of high emotion.
so yes the arrogant pig should go, and perhaps the message will filter down to the rest of mankind

He could have kissed them all and potentially assaulted them all

There are some really weird ideas about assault on this thread
