In a statement, the federation said that it would take the “necessary legal action” and told the female players that “playing for the national team is an obligation on any member of the federation called upon to do so”.

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.
