What do you remember from the Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand? Remember which teams were in the quarterfinals? Do you remember who became the top scorer and who was recognized as the best player of the tournament?

What you know for sure: There was a kiss. Like a bullfighter, Spanish association president Luis Rubiales grabs player Jennifer Hermoso’s head and kisses her on the lips.

There are different types of kisses. It was Rubiales’ kiss of death. And from now on, this World Cup, so high in terms of sport, is no longer a problem. There are no more reports of the remarkable progress of women’s football, nor of this World Cup being a quantum leap.

From now on, the main topic will be the hunt for Rubiales. They demand his head and deliver it. The kiss will also keep the courts busy. The World Cup title won by the Spanish women, who played so well, became secondary.

Is Rubiales really such an uninhibited, aggressive and ruthless macho? A pig priest and a creepy bishop, the likes of which apparently exist in every denomination of the Catholic Church? It is difficult to protect a person. With his obscene crotch grab, he already indicated who his spiritual child was during the World Cup final.

No more ease

He says he kissed Hermoso like he kissed his daughter. Problem: Hermoso is not his daughter. No understanding of Rubiales. However, one might wonder: is the persistent pursuit of this man proportionate? The Spanish women joked about the scene on the bus after their triumph. Hermoso didn’t seem shocked either.

But in our times, when everything is filled with meaning, there is no longer lightness and forgiveness. And one cannot help but get the impression that Hermoso may not have been exploited in this regard, but not least the pressure of public opinion forced him to take an intransigent position and ultimately initiate criminal proceedings.

Rubiales, the father of the family, has shaved his head, is deprived of his professional future and is socially ostracized. If it were measured in equal cubits, all the church doors would have to be closed at a time when the holy clergy apparently still considers getting into the pants of an altar boy an act of Christian charity.

The big loser in this never-ending noise is women’s football. The next headlines on this matter will be the day Rubiales appears in court. It doesn’t do much for the sport and doesn’t do justice to the growing women’s game.

KISS is an American rock band. KISS is also a problem-solving principle in the United States. Let it be simple and stupid. If there is a problem, the solution should be as simple as possible. In times of zero tolerance, this became difficult.

It is no longer possible to wipe your mouth and look forward.
