Congrats. At first glimpse I thought you said you were going to work at the Tour de France and other major sport events, I was bit like WTF?

I'm not sure how it's even possible, but Sepp has surprised me again: https://news.bbc.c...757165.stm

Sepp Blatter has said football does not have a problem with
That must be Blatter's favourite sentence, however you finish it.

It has to be said though that political correctness sometimes goes too far.
A few weeks ago a player in the portuguese league complained to the press of racism because another player called him "black".
It took Eusébio to point out that "You ARE black. Stop being an idiot."

Of course it can go too far. But you'd be surprised how rare those occasions actually are. Over here, a couple of newspapers like stories where they can rant about how political correctness has gone too far. They almost always turn out to be misrepresentations of facts, mistruths and myths.

I don't care who this Eusebio is, but I don't think he is right. I would never call a Caucasian football player white, so why should I call a black person black? He has a name like we all have.

I don't care who this Eusebio is , but I don't think he is right. I would never call a Caucasian football player white, so why should I call a black person black? He has a name like we all have.
Not a football fan then?

I know who he is, but I don't care because being a football player doesn't make him smart or wise automatically, no matter how good he can thread the ball.

Sure it is. Unfortunately I must admit that you spend more time in Berlin than I did.
I was there "sightseeing" for one day although I actually don`t live too far away.

Maybe they are all waiting for a new name and a new thread since the 100 pages are reached.
