Ex-Spanish football boss gets what he deserves — pelted with eggs at his book launch

Luis Rubiales, the former president of the Spanish Football Federation — who assaulted one of his players live on TV — had eggs thrown at him by his own uncle at his book launch.

This might be the most positive news story of the week

Luis Rubiales Convicted

The Spanish courts convicted Rubiales of sexual assault after he forcefully kissed Jenni Hermoso non-consensually during the medal ceremony of the 2023 World Cup.

They found him guilty in February 2025, ordered him to pay fines of more than €13,000, and banned him from being within 200 metres of Hermoso. Additionally, they banned him from FIFA, the world’s governing body for football, for three years.

Good shot

The convicted sex offender was launching his book in Madrid and had three eggs thrown at him — miraculously — by his own uncle. And at least one of the eggs hit him. What a legend.

His uncle also shouted ‘sinvergüenza’ — which translates to ‘shameless’.

Rubiales tried to chase after the man, but people in the crowd held him back.

According to the Guardian, the police stated that a Spanish man had been arrested but declined to confirm the family connection.

The Guardian also stated that:

 Speaking on Spanish television this week Rubiales claimed he was the victim of a “sudden far-left movement” that created a “parallel reality” to capitalise on the issue surrounding his forced kiss on Hermoso.

Paying the price

What sort of world do we live in where publishers are letting convicted sex offenders publish books? 

His book – ‘Matar a Rubiales’ – which translates to ‘Killing Rubiales’, could not be more poorly titled or inappropriate.

A man gets caught – literally, on live TV, in front of millions of people – sexually assaulting a woman. Yet, he still tries to play the victim and claim the public tried to kill his career. He created his own demise, and now he’s paying the price.

not very nice having something touch you without permission, is it? https://t.co/mbOR7LC94V

It goes without saying that we do not condone violence at the Canary. However, we’re big fans of eggs – and milkshakes.
