I wouldn't wish death on anyone but if he was gang raped that would be fine by me.
He and his mafia organisation's jurisdiction over world football is appauling.

Is it really any different from players calling each other fatty or ginger? I'm in my mid twenties and even when I was in school if you were picked on the answer was to respond with the like. I can see his point, but he is inept in expressing himself.
I'm not advocating racism, but I can understand the need for banter and stick on a football pitch, and sometimes people will go too far in the heat of the moment.
Unfortunately, I fear I'm going to get flamed as it is socially unacceptable. But why is racism unacceptable, but calling someone a fat cunt or a ginger nut acceptable? The only answer I can think of is history, but then is it similarly unacceptable to refer to someone as a Kraut?

Or fattism or gingerism? Calling someone a kraut is perfectly acceptable, but a wog not. What is the distinction? It's hypocrytical of some of you to condemn Blatter and then in the next post call someone a daft kraut. It's the same thing surely? Some might even argue discriminating against the Germans is more loaded due to the history between the two nations. |

His comments are out of touch with the real world, the sooner this daft sod buggers off then the better. The most likely thing though is that this old ballsack will get away with it somehow, someway.

To be fair I can see Walrus point that discrimination is discrimination regardless of whether it is on skin colour or hair colour.
He's missed the obvious point of context though - racism isn't "banter and stick on a football pitch".

What I think he was trying to say was that, making an off the cuff racist comment in the heat of the moment isn't the same as being inherently racist (something which I agree with). He should'nt have said that they should've just shaken hands afterwards and be done with it though. In fact he shouldn't have said anything which could've been taken out of context. Making a racist comment is very serious and shouldn't be taken lightly whatsoever.

Whilst Blatter's original comments were completely out of order I do wonder if the backlash against the man is turning into a bit of a media circus, almost vendetta like. The UK media have been waiting to pounce on the bloke and now they have their chance.
Too right. It's going to take tactics like that if he is to ever be ousted. I see Gordon Taylor is calling for him to be sacked now. |

People like this always seem to retain power, this will be brushed under the carpet as taken "out of context"/"miss-quoted" |

nothing will happen until sponsors start putting pressure on. Money is the only thing that matters to FIFA, not the opinion of supporters/players/ media from a nation they clearly despise.
