There's a bit more to the story than just some bloke sneaking a kiss in a moment of joy following their world cup win. There had been tension in the Spanish female soccer team for some time over what they perceived as unequal and sexist treatment by the Spanish football authorities.

The kiss was just the straw that broke the camels back, so to speak.

All a storm in a teacup, but the women will probably end up getting what they think is fairer treatment from the new authorities who will live in fear of looking sideways at any female soccer player again. Then the women will complain that they aren't getting the attention they imagine they deserve.

Meanwhile, some parts of the western world are returning to a level of sanity.... "Daniel Penny Receives Prestigious Marine Award" http://tiny.cc/ncsa001

Maybe so Haze but was it sexual assault ?
You might be able to claim assault but thats it, and that is a long shot.

Under Spanish law it was sexual assault.

Under the law of common sense it was just over exuberance.

Hi Bezza

Times change. What was once considered acceptable or even complimentary is no longer ok. Assuming your “stolen” kiss happened a long time ago I think you’re safe from a knock on the door by authorities. If you’re still a teenager, it might be problematic.

And I suspect this kiss was very different from the one you stole. It was very public, and done by a man in a position of authority. It was an expression of dominance, not flirtation.

I’m guessing you are a straight male beyond the first flush of youth. If so, imagine if Daren Young, the first openly gay wrestler in the World Wrestling Entertainment game with a formidable physique, bundled you up against the wall and gave you a full-on smacker complete with tongue-down-throat while your workmates watched on and the tv cameras were rolling.

I’m guessing you wouldn’t be happy.

Rhain, What sort of comparison was that ?
Don't bother.

My guess is not many adult men have been physically monstered into unwelcome sexual contact of this sort. I was inviting you to imagine a scenario where it happened, and how you might feel
