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”.

Threatening to sue doesn’t sound like apologizing though.

That’s in response to the calls for resignation. He just wants to keep his job.

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.

Right, people should never defend themselves and just go with what popular opinion demands of them. Because social media is always right about such things.

Okay, so you’re arguing that this guy should be let alone after he allegedly lied. He said it was the female player who told him to kiss in her lips. That’s your position. Alright, everyone, he keeps his job, nothing to see here!

I’m saying I believe they can figure it out amongst themselves without massive international attention. Social media has this tendency to blow things way out of proportion despite not even knowing any of the context. I don’t know what the fair resolution would be, but it seems odd to me that this mans life should be ruined over a kiss.
