This 'Kiss' Scandal In Spain

 It's an odd story to tell.

On the 20th of August....the women's team of Spain beat the UK women's team....1-0....to win the women's World Cup for 2023.

So they fly back into Spain, and everyone is all pepped-up (at least women are).

Then there's this VIP episode where the top brass are all going shake hands and hug after some positive chatter.

In the midst of this hug-stuff....Spanish Football Federation President Luis Rubiales ...did some mouth-to-mouth kiss with one of the gal players of Spain.

I've sat and watched the video of this at least twenty times.  I'm not authority on hugs or kisses, but I'd say that he went to the intense level (maybe on a 1-to-10 scale.....up to a '7').  If he'd extended the tongue....I'd say it was all over, but he stopped at that point.

So things are heated, and he is suspended from his job over this.

If you stood around Madrid and asked 100 women....very likely that all 100 have an opinion, and that 99 of them are pretty harsh on Rubiales.  I'd suggest that a quarter of them would like to have the guy in some jail-house situation.  

My own humble opinion?  It wouldn't shock me if he'd had five or six shots of something before the ceremony and the booze was triggering him to be this stupid.

The funny thing?  Well.....the kiss scandal is now a bigger deal than the women's team winning the FIFA women's competition.
