'Bye, guy

 And now, from the Blob's Good Things Come To Those Who Wait file ...

Luis Rubiales, the galactic tool who was president of the Spanish soccer federation, announced his resignation over the weekend.

This a few weeks after he got up in front of his own federation's general assembly and defiantly, and repeatedly, said he'd never resign on account of Spanish women's star Jenni Hernandez was lying about him forcing a kiss on her after Hernandez and Co. won the World Cup.

This after his federation backed him to the hilt, essentially calling Hernandez a liar/

This after every woman who won the Cup for Spain said they'd never play for the national team again if Rubiales (and his pet coach, Jorge Vilda, whom the women despised) wasn't gone.

This after the federation, still backing Rubiales' play, responded by saying the women had an "obligation" to play for the national team, even though they don't.

All the Blob has to say about this is stuff happens.

Stuff like the women's boycott. Stuff like protests breaking out all over in support of Hernandez. Stuff like even players for the men's national side speaking out, saying the federation's actions were unacceptable.

Public pressure can be a terrible, fascist, despicable thing when used by the unscrupulous to mislead and incite the uninformed. Or it can be a good thing.

This is the latter, because first Vilda was fired and now Rubiales has stepped down, and the Spanish fed's misogynist leanings have been both exposed and routed. And it happened largely because of massive public pressure.

I don't know how you score that. But the Blob scores it a W for simple decency.
