KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Whats all this with racism and Sepp Blatter?

There is a list of controversary behind him,Robert Mugabe couldn't rig elections better than Blatter.

well put it this way, I get told at work when I'm interviewing people there's a list of questions I can't ask- and the list is huge. I am totally aware what is acceptable and what isn't as the company I work for takes racism, sexism and all the other ism's very seriously

I would never of dream saying comments like that, and if he is the leader and the example for his organisation it is disgusting to come out with comments like that(repeatedly) Suppose we just have to accept he can now say what he likes and it will never change, only plus side he's 75 and can't go on forever!

That is not the way I took his comment at all. I took it as players shaking hands at games end can go a long way to ending feelings of racism between players not that it was sufficient penalty for racism.

Oh I think Blatter should go. I think he has a bad history of corruption. I just think in this instance there is no smoking gun. He just didnt come across as clear as he should have. Bad communication imo.

i think this would nt be a big deal at all if it was nt for the english media. they have blown this out of all proportion.

Maybe so this time,but everytime he opens his mouth about a serious issue he looks totaly clueless.

aww i totally agree, the man is a hazard every time he speaks. just think this time he has nt realy done anything wrong other than maybe be a bit naive.

You can't afford to be naive in his position, especially the current climate on a subject that is very important to a lot of people. Yes it is a bit of a witch hunt, but that is the UK media for you. Doesn't change what he said was totally unacceptable.

For me racism is about treating people equally the same rules for all irrespective of the colour of your skin. And this is important the bad must come with the good. For example I once pulled someone up for taking the Mickey out of a white lad but he held back on doing the same for an Asian lad. You could see the thought run through his brain. Because he saw the colour of his skin I spotted it and questioned him. It’s treating people different that’s racism and it comes in many forms some very subtle. In a way the poster and Blatter are right. If in society we got to the point where white people are scared to death of speaking normally and behave abnormally when in these situations then we will get inverse racism. That is far harder to stop and pick up. I hate Blatter but I cannot but help feel his enemies are using this to get at him. I have no problem at all with that.

+10000 - blatter should go - because he laughed in faces of those who suffered abuse in football for last 50 years- nevermind the rest pf his dodgy past -
