Hey there! Did you hear about what happened after the 2023 Women’s World Cup? ๐
Spain’s women’s football team won the big tournament, which was super exciting! But during the celebrations, something not so cool happened.
The former president of Spain’s football federation, Luis Rubiales, gave a kiss to one of the players, Jenni Hermoso, without asking her first. ๐
Jenni didn’t agree to the kiss, and that made her feel uncomfortable. In Spain, and many other places, it’s important to get someone’s permission before touching them or giving them a kiss. It’s all about respect! ๐ค
The court in Spain decided that what Rubiales did was wrong. They fined him more than 10,000 euros, which is a lot of money! ๐ฐ They also told him he can’t go near Jenni or talk to her for one year.
This situation started a big conversation in Spain about how we should treat each other, especially in sports and everyday life. It’s a reminder that everyone’s feelings matter, and we should always make sure others are okay with our actions.
What can we learn from this? Always respect others’ personal space, and if you’re not sure if something is okay, just ask! ๐
