Luis Rubiales' uncle blasts 'woman obsessed' nephew and says family support Hermoso
Luis Rubiales' uncle blasts 'woman obsessed' nephew and says family support Hermoso
The walls are closing in around Luis Rubiales – now, even his family are turning against the embattled Spanish football association president. Rubiales’ uncle, Juan Rubiales López, has blasted his nephew as a “man obsessed with women” after the football boss grabbed Spanish striker Jenni Hermoso and kissed her mouth during the Women’s World Cup medal ceremony The 46-year-old Rubiales has faced repeated calls to step down from his position as a result. Hermoso has since said the action was not consensual. She said the situation had left her feeling “vulnerable and a victim of aggression”. FIFA, the sport’s governing body, has suspended Rubiales for 90 days starting on 26 August. The Spanish FA has stuck firmly by its boss throughout and has even threatened to sue Hermoso. And on 28 August, a Spanish court opened a preliminary investigation to see if what took place was a sexual assault. López, the uncle, now insists the family are on Hermoso’s side, adding that his nephew “needs re-education about women”. Rubiales’ mother locked herself in a church on Monday and declared herself on hunger strike over what she called the “inhumane and bloodthirsty hunt” of her son. But López said the rest of the family are “defending Jenni [Hermoso]”. Lopz said: “I think he needs a social re-education programme and re-education in his relationship with women.” Rubiales' uncle was formerly chief of staff at the FA’s Madrid headquarters until 2020. He was sacked after alleging his nephew organised the "private party" with "eight or 10 young girls" and made him pay for it with association funds. Lopez said the pair’s relationship became strained when he started working with Rubiales at the Spanish football association, saying he didn’t like how Rubiales treated staff. Rubiales has always denied there was a party and that the event was for work purposes, but admitted there was a “barbecue with friends”. Since the kissgate scandal, multiple women have also come forward with accusations ranging from “misogyny to sexual harassment”. As of the morning of Thursday 31 August, Rubiales remains in post.

Chloe Kelly shows 'top sportsmanship' as England stars comfort tearful Nigeria goalkeeper
Chloe Kelly shows 'top sportsmanship' as England stars comfort tearful Nigeria goalkeeper
After England defeated Nigeria in a penalty shootout to progress in the Women's World Cup, the usual scenes of jubilation were stalled by a few Lionesses who decided to pay their respects to a defiant Nigerian side - especially their despondent goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie. As Nigeria pushed England to the brink, the match threatened to be defined by an uncharacteristic Lauren James incident. The England star who only picked up one yellow card in the Women's Super League for Chelsea last season was handed a straight red for a bizarre stamp on Michelle Alozie just minutes before the end of regular time. For the Lionesses, their defining moments followed in short succession. Firstly, Chloe Kelly lashed in the winning penalty in the resulting shoot-out, before she rushed over to comfort a fallen Nnadozie with Alex Greenwood and Hannah Hampton. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Then, with a camera looming over a tearful Nnadozie, Kelly ordered it to back-off and away from the trio as they shared a moment of comfort in amidst the celebrations. It's safe to say that the moment caught some positive attention: Next in the Women's World Cup, England will play either Jamaica or Colombia on Saturday 12 August - and they will be without James. As for other news, Donald Trump decided to get himself involved in the discourse surrounding the USWMNT and their exit from the World Cup by igniting his bizarre feud with Megan Rapinoe.
