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”.
He kissed her as way of celebration after winning the series. Understandable. She didn’t want to be kissed and felt violated, so she made a complaint about it. Understandable.
He could’ve solved this by simply apologising. Assuming this was a “first offence”, it would’ve been solved for the most part. Maybe she wouldn’t accept it, but the public probably would.
Instead they’ve escalated the accident into a lawsuit and made a public enemy of themselves.

So violating an individual’s rights is acceptable as long as ‘the public’ accepts it?
And if so, who is ‘the public’? I feel I’m also part of the public in that case, and don’t accept it.

No, not ‘they’. It was just him, can’t see any wrongdoing by her.

Zero tolerance policies suck. There has to be some room for forgiveness.

That may or may not be true as a generic statement, but in the given case it’s far too late for forgiveness. This man crossed more than one line.
