Well, I think you are either having a larf with that - or you are totally wrong. FIFA is a global (private) organisation that should lead by example - especially in a game where racism is endemic. In fact they claim to represent all that is good in sport - except that the head (Blatter) has demonstrated time and time again that he personally puts no values on moral issues. In fact I would go as far as to say that he represents everything that is bad in the game. The game belongs to it`s grass roots. You may think I am misguided in saying that but it`s something I firmly believe in - so why should we stop watching the games? If they will not put the beautiful game to rights - we (the fans) should not walk away, we should try to bring change. To say that they do not owe the world any minimum level of ethical behaviour - is just bullshit . . sorry if you feel insulted by that but I love the game too much and it riles me to see d**k-heads like Sepp Blatter get away with his dictatorial hypocrisy.

Yeah, they do. Can you imagine the head of CS coming out and telling his employees to forget about racism at work?

Blatter is no different than the corrupt fatcat Wall Street tycoons who are utterly out of touch with reality...Fact that the Valaisan isn't familiar with FIFA's own efforts to stamp out racism is simply a glaring example of just how out of touch he remains

Can you blame him?...If you've been corrupt for decades, lying, cheating & distorting reality for so long how on earth could you understand much less care about something as prevalent as racism?

Thanks for that information. I agree, the only way out seems to be when the rich clubs refuse to renew their relationship with FIFA.

I tried to give you good reputation, but the Forum says I am not allowed to...? Maybe I am too new here?

Your mother is a whore and last night I took your wife up the bottom.....now lets shake hands, it is all forgiven right?
I am a private individual with no reason to support ethical behaviour, should that be acceptable? no it shouldn't.

He's a dinosaur and needs to go. I'm not going to go into racism as I've experienced it quite a bit in life and therefore am very very passionate about equality.

Much respect to the English & the PFA asking him to resign. Shame on the main land European FA's who have remained silent.

Racism is a crime and to condone it is unacceptable.

Also FIFA does have laws against Racism.


Section 58:

If the guy in charge of world class football says it's ok to be racist and to just shrug it off as a trivial issue, what kind of message is that giving to the footballers of tomorrow?

That governing body has to be absolutely squeaky clean if it wants to maintain any kind of credibility.

Sepp Blatter has had his day and has long outstayed his welcome in the world of modern football. Time to hang up his boots and let someone take over that isn't stuck in the past.

If we all walked past his office chanting "Goodbye Sepp!" he would send a minion out to find out where we are all going.

3 ways I can think of,

As you say the Clubs refuse to support FIFA/ EUFA. This could happen next year when the top 14 clubs meet. They nearly opted out of the UEFA in 2009 but additional TV rights money turned their heads.

All FA's around the world condemn FIFA and force a change. This will never happen, they are all in bed with FIFA and as we have seen as soon as someone steps out of line a charge of Corruption gets levelled at them and they are straight out. The Vice President of FIFA things Jews can't be refs for God's sake and he is still in charge.

The players get together and complain . ie the PFA organisations of each nation complain. Also highly unlikely.

It is depressing.

Latest news, no improvement!

When will he just die.
I was waiting for him to come out and attack England, he normally does but I do really wish that he would just roll over and die.

Also just so we remember what an utterly clueless kunt he is, he also mentioned

Also just to go along with Blatters total anti-corruption - and pro-racism stance this has emerged.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-15996806
Soooo, they continue with the corruption then I guess, just like always

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2...ee?INTCMP=SRCH
ahhh...but this has nothing to do with Sepp right, we all knew FIFA was corrupt before Sepp got there right...
Well yes it was and it looks like Sepp learnt all his tricks from his previous master.
So what will FIFA do about this corruption that dates back decades?
Oh.

Ahhhhh

FIFA is now making the IOC look like it is run by a bunch of angels, that is quite some achievement.

It's actually stunning that a world organisation , head up a global sport, hasn't removed him yet ...
I think he is losing the plot TBH

We all knew it but the Trinidad & Tobago FA have just accused Jack Warner of stealing money meant for the Haiti Earthquake fund.

The only shock here is that this is only now coming out.
Also the pension bit:
Warner is currently 69, so if he lives to a very ripe old age we’re talking well over US$6,000,000, which is a scandal all by itself

$30,000 a year pension, not $300,000

Still too much for that clown, he's stashed away enough of other peoples' money under his mattress and through his son's 'ticket reselling' company.

O yeah....roughly 1,2million USD (pension runs till he is 96)

I don't care whether Blatter is corrupt or not. I'm afraid, decisions like giving the World Cup to the sheiks or allowing vuvuzelas in stadiums (because they are an eminent part of the culture of the South African people, dating back almost like 10 years or sth?) can and will be made in accordance with any given rules, despite they're a stab in the hearts of many football fans. The FIFA doesn't take any account of the needs of those fans whose passion made this sport so big. Pre-game drinking in the midst of effin desert at 50 degrees? Women with tops cheering in the streets of strict muslim Doha? Yeah, right ...
