Nope. Apparently what they'll do is take legal action against the victim for not providing consent after the fact.

Bold decision, Cotton. Let's see how it plays out.

The federation also said that, if selected, players have "an obligation" to play for the national team, after 81 female players said they will not represent Spain until Rubiales is removed from his post.

Poor guy is getting a bad look. /s

Fuck him. And fuck this org. “He did nothing wrong,even though it’s documented.”

Go and select them then, and see what happens when your players take to the field playing touch rugby to fulfil their “obligation”.

FIFA and RFEF are different, aren't they?
