Oh my, Rio Ferdinand weighs in on Dictator Sepp Blatter, and a South African leader with a very unfortunate name....
Quote:
"Fifa clear up the blatter comments with a pic of him posing with a black man..I need the hand covering eyes symbol!!"
Previously, Ferdinand had contacted Blatter's account directly, writing: "@SeppBlatter your comments on racism are so condescending its [sic] almost laughable. If fans shout racist chants but shake our hands is that ok?"
|
And Blatter responds with the ultimate retort:
Quote:
Blatter has now responded to Ferdinand via Twitter. He said: "The 'black man' as you call him has a name: Tokyo Sexwale. He has done tremendous work against racism and apartheid in Africa.
A statement was issued by Blatter on Wednesday evening in the hope of clarifying his comments, and with it accompanied a photo of the 72-year-old standing alongside South African minister Tokyo Sexwale, who was imprisoned on Robben Island during the apartheid era.
