10 Things Sepp Blatter Wants You To Forget

Sepp Blatter recently described himself as the ‘godfather’ of women’s football. If this is true, then he’s most likely to be the creepy, somewhat pervy godfather who the godchildren go out of their way to avoid. Here he is, expressing his opinions on how best to improve women’s football:

"Let the women play in more feminine clothes like they do in volleyball. They could, for example, have tighter shorts. Female players are pretty, if you excuse me for saying so, and they already have some different rules to men - such as playing with a lighter ball. That decision was taken to create a more female aesthetic, so why not do it in fashion?"

But why stop there, Sepp? Maybe you could enforce mandatory shirt removals as goal celebration. Or have drawn cup games settled by a wet t-shirt competition. Needless to say, Sepp’s words didn’t go down well within the female football community. Even the comment about lighter footballs was inaccurate, but given women don’t play the game in, say, hot pants, there’s a good chance Sepp doesn’t care to keep up with the sport.
