World football's governing body has opened disciplinary proceedings against Spanish football federation president Luis Rubiales for his behaviour at Women's World Cup final. But he has refused to step down as president of the Spanish football federation. "I will not resign, I will not resign," he told an extraordinary general assembly called by the RFEF. "A social assassination is taking place here." Rubiales kissed Spanish forward Jenni Hermoso on the lips after Spain beat England at the final and grabbed his crotch as he celebrated at the final whistle. Semra Hunter, a journalist at La Liga, says his behaviour was “laid bare” for all to see and ''the kiss is really the tip of an iceberg, it's not an isolated incident when it comes to him.'' She spoke to Newsday before Rubiales' statement.
