There's a significant difference between claiming some things was spontaneous and actually getting consent. This guy wasn't in a relationship with the player where this type of behavior would have been previously cleared. He's not even claiming that he asked permission. In this case you would have to assume mutual spontaneous consent. That is what he's claiming. However, one party has clearly said it wasn't mutual consent. So now you either have to assume the victim is lying or you take the logical path and realize that there's photographic evidence of a powerful figure, who doesn't claim to have asked for consent, assaulting a female athlete and showing no regard or remorse for that behavior.

He’s not even claiming that he asked permission.

I read that he asked her and she said it was okay. Of course, this is his account of things, but it really is just his word vs. hers on this matter.

Unless someone has a microphone that could've picked up the exchange.
