      “Temporarily suspended” is not the same as “dismissed with extreme prejudice never to hold office ever again”. The latter is what’s called for and what these women deserve to see.

        But it’s much better than backed by the entire direction of the national federation and threatening to pursue 80s sportwomen.

        Yeah, the “don’t fuck with our public image or the sponsors are going to leave” comitee. If they could have kicked him they would.

        The last thing they want is their sponsors walking away for not be associated on the bad side of another #metoo

        They can’t. First they must redo their image. Second do you belive CocaCola board is happy to see their logo next of the one of a group which support sexual harassment ? I don’t think so.

          CocaCola does not care. Their brand will not suffer. If anything, they like that it makes the logo feel ubiquitous.
