People want a lot of things they're not likely to get.
Sometimes when you fuck up, you don't get to keep your job afterwards. Quadrupling down and suing because you fucked up and don't want to take your lumps just makes you look worse in the long run.
Aside from the massive strawman here, you're defending a dude who sexually assaulted a player under them in public and on film.
In this case, yes, exactly what you said entirely unironically. He shouldn't defend himself for committing sexual assault because that's unacceptable no matter what, and he should have gone with the popular demands to step down for committing an unacceptable act. Because social media is right in this case.
You can agree to disagree if you want, but I won't and think you're entirely you're wrong. And thankfully FIFA doesn't agree with you and have suspended him for the kiss.
Sexual assault is never ok, and I hope he gets bounced from the league. I also hope your type that justifies gross and unacceptable behavior find that they're not welcome either.
So? Public pressure works to give proper repercussions to sexual assualters in old boys clubs, and it's doing what it should here.
I really don't understand why you're riding this so hard to defend a sex pest....
Ok, youre a sex pest, N1cknamed
You appear to agree, as well
Sex pests don't generally understand the difference between consensual and nonconsensual experiences, so that perfectly tracks why you're confused about this whole situation.
"Sexual assault is bad" is too black and white for you?
And yet you feel the need to take the side of the rich and powerful guy by dismissing the accusations outright instead of believing her long enough to find out if they are true.
