That RFEF press release that purportedly included a statement from Hermoso (defending Rubiales after he assaulted her during the World Cup medals ceremony)?

It didn't.

That, and worse, here:

Hermoso, through her Union and her agent, is pursuing action against Rubiales.

YES, fucking get that pig. 💪🏼

Rubiales' RFEF is

➡️ threatening to sue Jenni Hermoso for alleged lies and defamation

➡️ threatening to sue the ~80 players who signed the letter stating their refusal to play for Spain's national team while Rubiales remains in his post

The UEFA Nations League starts on 21 September. Rubiales is vice-president of UEFA.

I wonder if every player not on strike would wear some kind of #EstamosContigo shirt in solidarity.

Or, ideally, participate in the strike itself. Just both teams walk off the pitch after the anthems.

(Assuming all this is still dragging on by then.)
