A slap on the wrist just confirms FIFA’s complicity.

What harsher sanctions within FIFAs power, would you suggest?

Firing him is reasonable, the dude is still insisting it was consual after she has clearly stated it was note. Truly, what investigation needs to occur? It was a live broadcast that very clearly shows him holding her in place, it’s a clear abuse of power.

These 90 days are just a PR move in lieu of actually holding him accountable.
