Arr, the Spanish crown be dealt a blow in its tussle against Luis Rubiales, the beleaguered captain of the Royal Spanish Football Federation. The government be unable to hoist Rubiales from his post for lockin' lips with Jenni Hermoso after the World Cup. The court be sayin' the charges ain't "too serious," but we reckon they be more treacherous than a sea full of scurvy!
In a blow to the Spanish government, their attempt to suspend Luis Rubiales, the president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation, has been rejected by a court. The government's case against Rubiales revolves around his post-World Cup kiss with player Jenni Hermoso, but the court deemed the charges not "very serious."The setback for the government came as Spain's minister of something-or-other expressed their belief that the charges were indeed very serious. However, the Sports Administrative Tribunal (TAD) clarified that they only consider offenses that are truly serious. It seems the government's attempt to suspend Rubiales has hit a snag.
While the court's decision might come as a relief to Rubiales, it does raise questions about the Spanish government's handling of the case. One wonders why they were so adamant about suspending Rubiales in the first place if the charges were not deemed serious enough by the court.
Perhaps the government was simply looking for an opportunity to flex its muscles and show its authority. Or maybe they genuinely believed that a post-World Cup kiss was a grave offense that warranted suspension. Either way, it seems they have been left red-faced (or should we say, red-bearded) by the court's ruling.
It's worth noting that Rubiales is no stranger to controversy. He has been embattled in various scandals during his tenure as president, including conflicts with players and coaches. Whether this latest incident will have any long-term consequences for Rubiales remains to be seen.
But for now, it seems the Spanish government will have to back down and let Rubiales continue in his role as president. Arrr, mateys, it looks like Rubiales has sailed through this stormy sea of accusations and come out unscathed!
