Surprise suprise, Sepp Blatter is at it again.
Not content with issuing yellow cards to players who remove their shirts, suggesting that women should wear tighter shorts, or by accusing Martin Taylor of 'attacking' Eduardo - Blatter has now accused Manchester United of treating Cristiano Ronaldo as a 'modern slave'.
Now, I've heard some utter tripe from this man before, but this really is a new low, even by his standards.
To use the term slavery in regards to Cristiano Ronaldo and his bumper £120,000 contract is nothing short of ignorant, inaccurate, and insulting. Slavery is having your life effectively taken away from you, not having any freedom whatsoever, and you certainly werent paid £120,000 a week for your work.
Slavery was, and still is, a horrible practice. I'd expect more of a moral compass from the most powerful man in football.
And what's more, apparantly Manchester United are in the wrong for wanting Ronaldo to respect his recently signed 5 year contract. God forbid a player should honour his contract, eh? Let's hope Manchester United continue their admirable stance, and refuse to let Ronaldo go. That would certainly set a standard for others to follow, and players would sit up and take notice.
If Sepp had his way, players could move club year after year, regardless of their contract situation. As if modern day footballers didnt have enough power..
Do something right for football Sepp, before its too late. Retire.
