Arrr, matey! Luis Rubiales, the swashbucklin’ former captain o’ the Spanish soccer crew, be findin’ himself in a pickle! For plantin’ an unwanted kiss on a fair lass after the grand 2023 Women’s World Cup, the scallywag be lighter in the coin purse! Savvy?
Arrr, gather 'round me hearties, for I bring ye a tale of scandalous shenanigans on the high seas of soccer! Luis Rubiales, the swabbin' former president of Spain’s soccer federation, was caught in a storm of trouble when he planted a kiss on the fair Jenni Hermoso without her say-so, right after their glorious triumph in the Women’s World Cup of 2023!The High Court of Spain, with all the pomp and circumstance of a captain’s court martial, declared him guilty and ordered him to part with about $10,400 doubloons. But fear not, mateys! He won't be shiverin' in a cell, for the charges of coercion were tossed overboard. Instead, he’s now forbidden from comin' within 200 paces of the lass, like a scallywag banned from the tavern!
As the waves settled, Hermoso claimed that dastardly kiss put a dark stain on an otherwise joyous day. Rubiales tried to spin a yarn that the kiss was of the consensual kind, but the winds of public opinion were not in his favor, and he was soon forced to walk the plank from his position!
Even though some of his mates on the crew faced their own trials, they managed to escape the gallows. As the saga continues, Hermoso finds herself navigatin' troublesome waters, especially in Mexico. So, raise yer tankards, me hearties, for the world of soccer be rife with both glory and folly!
