I don’t appreciate the opiniun of Blatter for Ronaldo should honour the contract like other players usually do.The word is wrongly used by FIFA’s big boss.

Good article, Jak. This provides a realistic contrast to that moron’s views on modern-day slavery.

good article and it’s also worth reading Scott’s coverage of the same story here, especially the first part about Blatter’s hypocrisy.

Beyond Blatter’s PR machinations and the surface-level coverage of the press football has a LOT of problems that need more and more coverage and interest like this article.

Welcome to SL Jak.

I emailed this to Outside The Lines, a show on ESPN. They do documentary based programs on all sports. They have uncovered some really good stuff and I think they might actually do something on it. So Jak, wait by your computer who knows they might email you for some more information.

I think Ronaldo should move to madrid if thatis what is in his heart. I shouldnt think anyone in MAN UTD would wnat him if his heart isnt in it there.

If someone fights against such injustice, its surely a noble deed.
