Women’s football, sexism and media representation: Contextualising the Rubiales/Hermoso kiss

The article "Women’s Football, Sexism, and Media Representation: Contextualizing the Rubiales/Hermoso Kiss" by Eleanor Crabill examines the media coverage and broader implications of the non-consensual kiss between Luis Rubiales, then-president of the Spanish Football Federation, and Spanish player Jenni Hermoso during the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup celebrations. The study situates this event within the historical marginalization of women’s football and ongoing issues of sexism in sports governance.
