"I'm ready to be vilified to defend my ideals,"

Ok. He's a gross, sexist man who any organization should be embarrassed to have as a representative.

"I grabbed that part of my body that you have already seen"

Ah, so he's done this sort of thing before. Repeat behavior, unapologetic and doubling down on it. This should take the Spanish FA less than 24 hours to kick him out and issue an apology statement for having kept him on for as long as they did.

...you have already seen"

I took that as more "you saw where I grabbed myself" instead of "I did it before, and I did it again"
