Sepp Blatter Compared FIFA Ethics Committee To The Spanish Inquisition

Sepp Blatter is set to face the FIFA Ethics Committee, about an illicit payment to Michel Platini that has left him the subject of a criminal investigation. It’s likely he will receive a lengthy ban from FIFA. He violated the apparent terms of his current ban by sending the following letter to his “friends” at the 209 member nations.

If you thought Sepp Blatter was a man who would blanch at comparing his own plight to thousands of Jews being burned at the stake, tortured and exiled during the Inquisition, you thought wrong.

Rest assured. Blatter will “continue to fight for (his) rights.”
