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 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.
