    …79 women’s football players who signed a letter in which they stated they would refuse to play for their country as long as Rubiales remained in his post.

    How am I only learning about this now? It’s fucking awesome.

    Anyway, the next step is to fire Rubiales. Will that happen?

      Then you’ll love to know that the Spanish football federation threatened to sue them, because FIFA rules say players can’t refuse calls to the national team. Rubiales is only the tip of the iceberg, the entire federation is a glorified pigsty.
