In the last hours there have been two open fronts for the historic victory of the Spanish Women's Soccer Team in the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand: the emotional celebrations and the kiss without consent from Luis Rubiales to Jennifer Hermoso. This latest incident has gone around the world, with international media and social networks criticizing the behavior of the president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation.
Within the storm of criticism, there were a few who publicly defended Rubiales' actions. One of them was the presenter of El partidazo de la COPE, Juanma Castaño, who agreed with these words of the president: “It is a peak of two friends, let's not pay attention to the fools and idiots. With everything I've been through I'm not for bullshit or for assholes. We are going to enjoy the good and don't even tell me about losers who don't know how to see the positive”.
A position that has put the journalist in the crosshairs of Spanish society, criticizing his statements with the same vehemence as the actions and apologies of Luis Rubiales. "The 'journalist' Juanma Castaño did not even finish his journalism degree and charges a million euros for defending the interests of the powerful. This is how he laughs thanks to the macho Luis Rubiales: "I send him a kiss on the mouth," replied the journalist and writer Fonsi Loaiza.
“Juanma Castaño, let's see if you learn… You should be a speaker for responsibility, make sexist gestures between a boss and his employee ugly, not laugh, insult and agree. This attitude equals you to the level of Rubiales ”, indicated another user. “Magnificent face to face between two unpresentable Cro-Magnons like Rubiales and Juanma Castaño. This passage has to be the definitive end of Rubiales in the RFEF. There are presentable and serious people in football for this guy to stain it ”, criticized Antonio Maestre.
One day after the interview that put him at the center of the controversy, the COPE announcer apologized for his behavior: “There were several things that confused me. I saw something that caught my attention but I didn't consider it very serious. I saw that ceremony, I saw what Rubiales did, I was surprised, but I didn't consider it especially serious. With the passing of the hours there are things that he should have fallen for ”.
“I didn't know if they had a good relationship or it had happened between them when negotiating to return to the National Team and if it was something that was fruitful with a 'peak'. At night I did not value the difference in rank between Rubiales and Jenni Hermoso. At first I was surprised that the commentators would put that on the table but then I realized that it was a boss giving a pick to an employee. He had not fallen for that difference in power, ”he detailed in a lengthy apology.
