Director Woody Allen says Spanish football chief Luis Rubiales should not lose his job for forcibly kissing a player on the lips after the Women’s World Cup final, saying it was not like he murdered someone or burnt down a school.

“He wasn’t raping her,” the veteran American filmmaker said in an interview with Spanish newspaper El Mundo. “It was only a kiss and it was a friend. What’s wrong with that?”

    I’ve not seen a lot of coverage of this in the English press but his mother also shut herself in a church and went on hunger strike to protest the mistreatment of the poor boy.

    If the only people defending you in this type of case are your mother and Woody Allen then I think you can safely assume you’re in the wrong.
