Raj Posted 17 November 2011 Posted 17 November 2011 Nothing wrong in what Sepp has said. Call someone a fcuking black cvnting nigger and then shake his hand at the end of the game. Problem solved!!! Im sure this would happen in any walk of life!
21st Century Fox Posted 17 November 2011 Posted 17 November 2011 Skybet have a Sepp Blatter special Sepp Blatter To Still Be Head Of Fifa.... - First Game Of Euro 2012 Finals Yes 4/7 No 5/4
Mack Posted 17 November 2011 Posted 17 November 2011 Unless the major Sponsors of Fifa pull the plug over Blatter he will get away with it again.
I am Rod Hull Posted 17 November 2011 Posted 17 November 2011 I think this could gather momentum. The PFA chief Gordon Taylor as now stuck his nose in and called for him to resign. Smells like a coup de grâce. The knives are being sharpened, the death of Caesar is nigh....
Guest MattP Posted 17 November 2011 Posted 17 November 2011 Skybet have a Sepp Blatter special Sepp Blatter To Still Be Head Of Fifa.... - First Game Of Euro 2012 Finals Yes 4/7 No 5/4 Hammer that YES, if he doesnt go when his organisation is found out to be the epicentre of worldwide football corruption he isnt going over something as small as this. I think this could gather momentum. The PFA chief Gordon Taylor as now stuck his nose in and called for him to resign. Smells like a coup de grâce. The knives are being sharpened, the death of Caesar is nigh.... It wont though, its only a story here, in Italy, Spain etc his comments arent seen as anything special, its only main news here because we are a country absolutely obsessed with racism.

I think your right there.
21st Century Fox Posted 17 November 2011 Posted 17 November 2011 The amount of black footballers and former footballers that have come out and condemned him in the press over here is a testament to this country. They know a hell alot more about it then we ever will. They wouldn't even be given the chance to have their say in the Spanish or Italian sports press even if they were brave enough to risk their careers on it.
Trav Le Bleu Posted 17 November 2011 Posted 17 November 2011 These kind of comments need to be included in FIFA 12 for added realism.
Super_horns Posted 17 November 2011 Posted 17 November 2011 No wonder international countries accused of racism only get a small fine whe punished if this is the general FIFA/UEFA view on such a matter.
General Smuts Posted 17 November 2011 Posted 17 November 2011 FIFA now have Sepp hugging a black man on their homepage to go with the retraction of his earlier comments. You can't make this shit up . His name is Tokyo Sexwale. This is the best name ever.
StanSP Posted 17 November 2011 Posted 17 November 2011 His name is Tokyo Sexwale. This is the best name ever. So Step Ladder isn't actually his real name ?!
Austin Posted 17 November 2011 Posted 17 November 2011 His name is Tokyo Sexwale. This is the best name ever. I genuinely need a new name.
MPH Posted 17 November 2011 Posted 17 November 2011 Hammer that YES, if he doesnt go when his organisation is found out to be the epicentre of worldwide football corruption he isnt going over something as small as this. It wont though, its only a story here, in Italy, Spain etc his comments arent seen as anything special, its only main news here because we are a country absolutely obsessed with racism. And in those countries its more common for the crowds to still make monkey chants towards the players. This is probably the best indication as to why his comments have not caused a stir amongst these nations. Mario Balotelli has admitted he is growing weary of hearing racist abuse when playing football, and is asking for help in the fight against racism in the Italian game. The Italy and Manchester City striker earned his second international cap last night in a 1-1 draw with Romania but was taunted by some spectators. The 20-year-old was the subject of abuse every time he touched the ball in the friendly played in Austria, reportedly mostly from Italy fans Barcelona full-back Dani Alves says racism in the Spanish game is 'uncontrollable' but insists he has now learned to live with it. The 27-year-old Brazil international is not the first player to speak out about the problem with racist chanting in Spain, with former Barca forward Samuel Eto'o having also highlighted the issue in the past. Alves seems resigned to accepting it as a part of life in Spain, Are we obsessed with Racism here in England? I absolutely hope we are. And i hope we stay obsessed with it until that nasty disease is eradicated from our society.
purpleronnie Posted 17 November 2011 Posted 17 November 2011 It still baffles me that people can dislike someone because of skin colour, it makes no sense, I would love just to sit down and talk to someone who is racist and just find out why because I cant believe that someone could be so uneducated and delusional that he thinks his colour of skin is somehow superior to another. Thanfully we are known throughout the world as a tollerant society something we should all be proud of.

Thanfully we are known throughout the world as a tollerant society something we should all be proud of. I'd imagine it would boil down to insecurities or stem from an upbringing. I don't generally like Londoners but that's because most of the ones I've met have been tossers. Don't think using racist language neccesarily means you dislike them because of the colour of their skin. I've heard racist language from people who are simply not racists. I called someone a fat twat earlier, I don't generally have an irrational hate of fat people though.

Not really the same as calling someone a 'monkey' because some backward, ignorant logic deems them to be lower on the evolutionary scale. Its hardly the first name you go to out of frustration or in the heat of the moment is it. It would be a good choice if you were deliberately attempting to goad someone into lashing out at you to get them sent off. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/13381508.stm http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Wel46EnUB4

Thanfully we are known throughout the world as a tollerant society something we should all be proud of. When i started at my work 21 years ago i was the first brownie out of 400+ whities. I was asked some really dumb questions like"do you eat sandwiches"!!! It stems from people not knowing about you and thinking you are from another planet. Once they all got to know me they knew i was more or less the same as them. Needless to say that most of them now fcuking hate my guts!!! BUT not cos im brown...just cos im an annoying mardy moaning cvnt(which id like to think id be even if i was white!) A cvnt will always be a cvnt no matter waht colour they are!
General Smuts Posted 18 November 2011 Posted 18 November 2011 Raj is not from another planet?!? Sepp Blatter, you're not, not racist because The Wire's in your Netflix queue.

Babylon Posted 18 November 2011 Posted 18 November 2011 Not really the same as calling someone a 'monkey' I would think he's on about using the term black followed by an expletive. I can see where he is coming from, as he mentions people get abused because of their weight, hair colour, need for glasses, spots etc etc. Is calling someone a black c*** any worse than calling someone a fat c***. I'm not saying it's right, but is it any worse? I'm sure there are many people out there who have used terms like the above in the heat of the moment when they probably aren't a racist (and by racist I means someone who prejudice against anyone not white) . They are just using it in the same manner as the other examples. Bit of a dickhead? Most probably. Racist, not necessarily.

Blacks/Browns etcc have had to fight(in some cases literally!) to get to be equal to the rest of the community just because of the colour of the skin. Im no historian or bigwig but i know there used to be signs outside pubs in the 60's saying NO BLACKS OR COLOUREDS...no signs ever saying no one with ginger hair or anyone wearing glasses. Blacks in the USA have had to fight generations to get equal rights,ie to sit on the same row as a white man on a bus....Did fat people have that fight?

Raj Posted 18 November 2011 Posted 18 November 2011 And no Irish !! What White Irish or Black Irish???
