Sounds like he threw them all out there, just to make sure he could resign, and get away from the s**t storm ahead

Should have been fired.

A dinosaur at the top of sport, what a surprise.

Vice chair or president of fifa too.

It’s completely irrelevant if anyone thinks this is racist or not,anyone that doesn’t know it’s against the rules of life to call a black person coloured or to black up etc in 2020 really is a bit thick and deserve all they get.
I fully expect a footballer or rugby player somewhere to cause an outcry at their annual Christmas party next month quite simply because people are fucking stupid.

Being gay is "a lifestyle choice"? ... Seriously?

So if a 14 year old on a training course with a club had written to him asking for advice, this is what he would have said?
