FIFPRO has come out to release a statement backing Jennifer Hermoso after she was forcibly kissed by Spanish Football Federation president, Luis Rubiales. The player’s union recently had its say via a press release, and fans have been reacting.
According to the union, Jennis‘ struggle is a collective struggle for the entire team, and they have simply had enough with the failings of the Spanish football system.
FIFPRO added that football must respond and rise to this critical moment, and it should not be limited to Spanish football alone.
It read, “Contigo, Jenni. Your struggle is my struggle. Her struggle is our struggle. And we have had enough. We, the players, are stronger, more united, and more determined than ever. We demand change. We demand better.”
“The systems are failing us. Governance is failing us. Accountability is failing. Discrimination runs deep and occurs at every level. Football must respond and rise to this critical moment, not only in Spain, but around the world.”
“Football, without us, is nothing. And we are watching. Together.
“It’s time. It’s over.”
