Ali Krieger reacts to the Luis Rubiales conviction for sexual assault and explains why she views the punishment as just a "slap on the wrist." Luis Rubiales was president of the Spain football federation for five years. "We are going to file an appeal before the Supreme Court to obtain a judgment of acquittal that is in accordance with the law," Tubau told Efe News Agency. "[The Supreme Court has already] clearly drawn the line of not considering a kiss punishable when there is no sexual intent, as is the case here." The incident sparked widespread debate about sexism in Spanish society and women's football, fueling momentum for the "Me Too" movement in the country.
