Demand that Sepp Blatter resigns as head of FIFA
Under Sepp Blatter's stewardship FIFA has practised corruption ensuring the maintenance of vested interests. He has failed the football community at large.
On 16 November 2011 in interviews conducted by CNN & Al-Jazerra he stated that unacceptable racist behaviour can be excused by the shaking of hands.
Football & society must not tolerate such archaic & abhorrent views.
This petition requires the Govt to debate whether Sepp Blatter's position is now tenable & to call upon his immediate resignation.
The UK Government must now take the moral high ground and state its position in the strongest terms & thereby making it politically uncomfortable for UK companies to continue to support, by sponsorship or other commercial relationships, Sepp Blatter & FIFA in its current form.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The FIFA leadership is a matter for FIFA. However, the Prime Minister and the Sports Minister have both made statements on this issue.
