Blatter says gay fans 'should refrain' at 2022 World Cup in Qatar

[MrCoffee]

The Fifa president, Sepp Blatter, has attempted to laugh off the problems which gay supporters may face at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Blatter, who was speaking yesterday in Johannesburg, has come in for criticism following the decision to take the competition to a country where homosexuality is illegal. Current laws also mean drinking alcohol in public is forbidden, while the searing summer climate in the Middle East could see temperatures reach 40C to 50C.

When asked about the issues facing gay fans, Blatter, apparently joking, said: "I would say they should refrain from any sexual activities." He continued then on a more serious note, saying: "We are definitely living in a world of freedom and I'm sure when the World Cup will be in Qatar in 2022, there will be no problems.

As though the world needed more evidence that Sepp Blatter is a complete and utter fool.

They'll still be gay, you fucking idiot.

3. Dude, not if they're refraining!

It's such a simple solution. Why did it take Sepp to think of it?

2. Blatter's incompetence and bigotry are never hidden for long.

Ugh.

4. Blatter wanted women to wear more skimpy football gear

if we wanted more coverage. He's a corrupt piece of scum.

5. It's all about sex to him, isn't it?

Gross boy.
