The filter between Blatters brain and his mouth goes missing again
Football | Thursday 11 February 2010 by Richard BlayneyIf loose lips sink ships, FIFA boss Sepp Blatter could famously take down armadas.

You’re probably wondering ‘what now,’ when you hear that Blatter has talked crap again in front of the Worlds media. Well this time he is trying to excuse John Terry’s extra-marital activities by saying that if he was from a Latin country he would likely be applauded. Really Sepp? Really?
“Listen, this is a special approach in the Anglo-Saxon countries. If this had happened in let’s say Latin countries, then I think he would have been applauded,” said Blatter as the gathered hacks scribbled into their notebooks with excitement as their favorite quote barer came good again.
Seriously, if this guy wasn’t the most powerful man in the game and if he didn’t represent the game as the head of FIFA it might be funny. However he is all of these things and therefore it is just frightening. I’ve said many times how this man is a disaster for Football and usually it comes from the nonsense he spouts from his flimsy loose tongue.
This article on today’s Toronto Star website basically sums it all up.
