The uproar over a fleeting outburst of uninhibited joy is ludicrous.

Editor’s note: As this essay was going to press, Luis Rubiales
resigned as president of the Spanish soccer federation and vicepresident of the Union of European Football Associations’
executive committee. The text has now been updated by the
author to reflect these developments.
A split-second kiss during a soccer victory celebration last month
ignited a political frenzy in Spain and a feeding frenzy in the global
media. The target of that frenzy—Luis Rubiales, the president of
Spain’s official soccer federation—resigned on Sunday, after
weeks of protest against him. And with that decision, the possibility
of a human future that still has a place for exuberance and
common sense has taken a body blow.
On August 20th, Spain’s female soccer team won the Women’s
World Cup in Australia. It was Spain’s first victory in that contest,
and elation broke out on the field after the win. A reception line of
dignitaries and sports functionaries greeted the players, many
hugging and kissing. One player, Jennifer Hermoso, grabbed the
president of Spain’s official soccer federation, Luis Rubiales,
around the waist and lifted him off his feet as he laughed and
shouted. When she let him down, they rocked back and forth in a
mutual embrace. In rapid succession, he pecked her on the cheek
while she patted him on his back, then he took her head in his
hands, and planted an instantaneous kiss on her mouth. He
immediately moved her head away from his, and still laughing and
shouting, sent her down the receiving line with two loose-wristed
thwacks on the back.
After Hermoso left the field, she streamed a live Instagram video of
herself celebrating in the team locker room. She swigs from a
champagne bottle and stuffs a chocolate cupcake in her mouth,

while guffawing and smirking for her smartphone. Off camera
someone asks what she thought of the kiss. Still laughing, she
replies: “No me ha gustado, eh [I didn’t like it].” Footage also
emerged of Hermoso and her teammates laughing about the
incident on the team bus in front of Rubiales.
Spain’s feminists were less amused, and they started complaining
that Hermoso had been sexually assaulted by Rubiales. For a
while, Hermoso brushed off the allegation. In a statement sent to
the Spanish news agency EFE, she wrote that the kiss was a
“mutual gesture that was totally spontaneous prompted by the
huge joy of winning a world cup. The ‘presi’ and I have a great
relationship, his behavior with all of us has always been 10 [out of
10] and this was a natural gesture of affection and gratitude.” The
feminists continued to flog the sexual assault claim, and Hermoso
continued to reject it: “I wish they created [controversy] involving
someone else, I’m a world champion and that’s what matters,” she
told COPE radio.
