managers and the British media, not to mention the normal two lets jump on the bandwagon merchants, Beckham and Cameron are coming out one by one to condem Sepp Blatter for making so-called flippant remarks about racism in football.
I am sure a leader or a multi-cultural organisation went through full vetting processes before he was allowed anywhere near the top job, so to keep call him a racist is laughable.
Why is it then that if it is a player from their own club that has misbehaved on or off the football pitch, or as is the recent cases been accused of racism, they move heaven and earth to defend the said players.
Would it not just be good for once if clubs were to come out and be honest and say we are suspending the players, whilst a full inquiry takes place.
I find the hypocrisy of managers and media to be cringeworthy at best, and at worse, if its not my player involved I will condemn, but if it is my player I will defend with my life.
Not surprisingly too a man the prem

So anything you disagree with means that Blatter is a dinosaur.
=============================
Not saying that at all. My point was, is a man who suggests that racist comments should be laughed off with a handshake and also suggests that the women's game would gain more viewers if they wore tighter clothes really the enlightened leader we should have as the head of football?
I my opinion his views are archaic and not in touch with modern day football and I happen to think he's a self-serving odious little git, who should've been sacked long ago for turning FIFA in to the backhander-taking Old Boys club it is today.

That also could apply to the British game as well, so what`s new.
Pot and kettle come to mind with the British Football Hierarchy.

the fact that terry played for england whilst an ongoing police investigation into a serious offence is a disgrace.

Under FA rules, players that under police investigation are not allowed to represent the national side i.e Woodgate and Bowyer.
What's the difference here? Special case because he is captain of England? He sure is a special case

Fully agree, just because they're both rubbish though doesn't mean Sepp should get away with it.
