Sepp Blatter

The man is a buffoon yet our FA is continually forced to kowtow to him.

I don't know Blatter and I doubt anyone else on here does either.
If he'd have said "Wouldn't it be great IF racism could be sorted out by a handshake", he would probably have been nominated for a peace prize.
I'm not sticking up for him, but maybe his comments have been taken out of context by a world that appears to love pointing the finger at people and calling them racist, when actually, they're not.

"if he had said: wouldn't it be great if racism could be sorted out by a handshake"

But he didn't say that did he? He suggested that people are not actually racially abused and that even I they are, they should just get on with it!

He is hugely out of date and has to go. Surely no one is even suggesting otherwise?

I'd have thought he have suggested it could be cured by an envolope full of used notes that's how FIFA seem to sort everything else!
