But, and oh what a massive but this is, I hate so much of what the beautiful game has become. And right at the top of the football family is a man that sums up just why I hate it so much. Sepp Blatter is a nutter, he is for me a man that lives in cloud cookoo-land, he must now be the most high profile individual that has absolutely no moral fiber, no honour, and no sense. Yet he is also a man that has the job of so many a man's dreams, he lives one of the most privileged lifestyles, he has money, power and vast influence. But he is still a nutter.
In the past, and by way of example, he is quoted as saying that if the women's game is to improve, the players should wear tighter shorts !!! Yet I never remember him saying that the man's game should do the same, and I am sure there are loads of fans that would not mind seeing Beck's, Henry or Rooney (okay maybe joking on one of these) in much tighter shorts, but in all seriousness how can the man, who is supposed to be running football, really say such a dam stupid thing. Forgetting the fact that it is sexist, which I believe is against the law, it is dumb, very dumb, and yet he continues to rule the game.
But now, in November 2011, Mr B, has gone beyond the pale, overstepped the mark, and say the stupidest and dangerous thing ever. "there is no racism in football" !!!. Okay so in the period in which he say such a dumb thing, we have Suarez v Evra, and Terry v Ferdinand in the english game. Neither has been proved, both may be wrong, but, and once again this is a bog but, both are very high profile cases of alleged racism, neither seem to be going away, and neither appear to be solvable with a handshake. Football is life and life is football, and in life, in our world today racism still exists, one could even suggest it is increasing, so therefore why not in football. But unless the head man takes up this challenge, has a "zero-tolerance" attitude, then football will never rid itself of such vile and unacceptable behaviour. But first football must rid itself of this vile, stupid, dangerious, naieve, dumb little man, please Mr Blatter, go away and lets start getting back the beautiful game.
