Here Sepp goes again. In response to former England captain John Terry's affairs, the FIFA President Sepp Blatter said the following (courtesy of ESPN Soccernet):
Blatter is surprised that John Terry has been sacked as England captain and has said that the centre-back would have been applauded in some countries for having an alleged affair.
England manager Fabio Capello stripped Terry of the captaincy on Friday following revelations in the UK press about the defender's private life, including allegations that he had an extra-marital affair with the ex-partner of England team-mate Wayne Bridge.
Despite the nationwide controversy in England, Blatter joked that in "Latin" countries, Terry's conduct may not have been considered a problem.
Blatter said: "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."
Terry flew out to Dubai on Thursday to be with his wife, Toni, after the Chelsea defender was granted leave to sort out his private life.
Awesome. So good ol' Sepp managed to encourage declining moral values of society and be racist in the same comment.
Note to Sepp, Terry, and many others (including Tiger): it is not that hard, just stay loyal to your wife, don't justify indiscretions, and support others to have high moral values and integrity. In the words of Dan Foreman, "Just pick the right one to be in the foxhole with, and then when you're outside of the foxhole you keep your [stuff] in your pants."
