With a forceful phrase, the Hollywood actress Natalie Portman has taken a position on the sc@nd@l in the final of the Women's Soccer World Cup
The Luis Rubiales sc@nd@l and his non-consensual kiss to Jennifer Hermoso have gone around the world. The Women's Soccer World Cup was followed by millions of people from all corners of the planet and the final was precisely the most watched match, so it is not surprising that the Rubiales case is receiving international media coverage.
This is how an entire feminist movement has been awakened that is not only receiving attention and following in Spain but is a wave very similar to that experienced by 'Me Too' in the United States and in Hollywood, from where it is also receiving a lot of following.
In fact, the latest voice to join this wave has been Natalie Portman. The Oscar-winning actress has not hesitated to position herself through social networks with a forceful message: "I am with Jennifer Hermoso. #SeAcabo."
He did so based on the news published in the 'New York Times about Rubiales' refusal to resign despite criticism from the players, a fact that led FIFA to temporarily dismiss him and invite him and the entire Spanish Federation not to contact Jennifer Hermoso, her family, and the rest of the women's national team players.
Natalie Portman has spoken out a week after the final of a World Cup from which she was no stranger. Not in vain is she the co-founder of the Angel City soccer club, and she participated, along with her partner on the club's board, in the FIFA Equity Summit, held at the Sydney Opera House days before the World Cup.
A meeting that was precisely about moving towards progress and equality in football, and in which the FIFA president pointed out that women "must select their fights strategically", something that would make a lot of sense days later.
