Question

Spanish Prosecutors Open Inquiry Into Soccer Official Who Kissed Player.  How stupid can this get? It was a kiss, not a rape!

When I first heard of that I thought it was The Onion.

I'm on patrol one time. This Afghan ran up and said one of our Soldiers just raped all the women in his compound. It was right after the anniversary of... F me in the ear what's his name. That nutjob went out and raped the girl and sat killed her family. The Mahmudiyah incident. Granted that was a different country but AQI/JRTN/ISIS were always quick to bring that back to the spotlight that time of year to stir the pot.

Anyway, we're of course like WTF is going on and squad leaders are all taking head count, make sure everybody is there, which they are. Afghan is saying 20+ women and children are raped. Where'd he find the time/energy? So we finally work out that because he'd heard a noise in the compound walls, our SAW gunner had opened the outer door and checked inside for safety. There were women in the courtyard without head covering, which means that "no man will want them and they have been raped."

That could have gone quite differently, as the LT was ready to take the weapon of the E4 accused and have him thrown in irons to put a nice face of appeasement on it for the Afghan, which would fundamentally be the wrong answer on so many levels.

I convinced the Afghan that that's not what that word means, and we'll leave it at that.

Point is, "if everything is rape, nothing is rape" as the saying goes [well... you know] , and the word loses the ugliness that it has/represents.

Agreed. This is so far overblown. Was the kiss inappropriate, yes; but come on people.

It's strange to me that they have to have a whole "investigation" about it.. Its clearly filmed/documented, there is a literal stadium of direct eyewitnesses, you can see the body language AND the person who was unexpectedly kissed said she did not consent. And I don’t know why the gave him the option of resignation. Firing him would have been quick and painless.

This is why women's soccer is going nowhere. I've heard almost nothing from the media about matches, goals and who won but I've heard all about wanting equal pay, I've heard about 1 Muslim woman who comes from a Muslim country playing in a hijab, another Muslim woman taking her tits out, how white the England team is, how Manchester United only just got a women's team, Saint meghan Rapinoe and of of course how a spainish manager who just coached his team to win the cup was ecstatic and celebrated with his team the way he would if they were men or if he was a woman. Meghan Rapinoe is a lesbian and routinely kisses and dry humps fellow players without consent, sexual assault?

In closing the sport matters little to these women just attention and money.

What if he kissed a man? Yes, its ridiculous, because there are tons of such examples. Probably someone needs a reason to just replace this guy with someone else on his position. Some political games.

I don't know, kissing someone on the lips without their consent is sexual assault, but I don't think it warrants sexual assault charges.

Pursuing a criminal charge for this is a terrible way to spend resources that could go to serious sexual assault cases.

Perhaps some community service and educational courses on how consent works. He should also be made an example out of him by firing him.

Depending on who you ask it definitely falls on sexual assault. There are definitely some nutjobs who will equate it to rape.

So if I approached you in the street and kissed you you'd be ok with that?
