Sepp Blatter is at it again: The head of FIFA has sparked huge controversy (especially in England) with ill-judged comments that minimize the extent and impact of racism in soccer. With his previous gaffes about homosexuality and women's football, it's a wonder that anyone is surprised.

Sepp Blatter is, I believe, the German name for a urinary tract disease.

I just heard from Sexwale. He is into geographic names and asked if I had ever heard of Ron Mexico.

Dear Sepp: Please go away. Love, the world.
I don't think of him as old or naive ... just stupid.

"The 'black man' as you call him has a name: Tokyo Sexwale."
That is not helping. The first time I came across that name in The Economist, it took me 5 minutes to stop laughing. Which was a problem as my wife was looking to use the bathroom.
Sepp Blatter: great troll or greatest troll?
