Sepp Blatter: No Sex For Gays At Qatar 2022

Chortle, chuckle, cackle -  this is going to get messy !

At a news conference in South Africa the president of FIFA was asked what advice he would give to gay football fans who want to head to Qatar in 2022, considering that homosexuality is illegal there and to engage in homosexual acts carries a pretty stiff penalty. After an uncomfortable pause and some giggles Blatter finally replied "I would say they should refrain from any sexual activities" and then went on to insist that discrimination would not be an issue in Qatar by 2022, saying "we are living in a world of freedom" and that "[In Qatar] it's another culture because it's another religion, but in football we have no boundaries. We open everything to everybody".



Fair enough, I suppose his advice on not engaging in homosexual activity over there could be simply taken as 'if that is the law in that country, then I would suggest anyone visiting that country obeys the law'. But it won't be taken like that now will it? Oh no, I can hear the gay rights groups jumping up and down already and if Peter Tatchell didn't have steam coming out of his ears after Russia were awarded 2018, well he fucking will when he hears this news. The other sound I can hear his Sepp Blatter trying to wriggle his fat arse out of the fine mess he's just gone and gotten himself into - The football world cup for Qatari oil, it must have seemed such an easy trade deal to pull off.
On his statement that discrimination won't exist in Qatar by 2022 and that we live in a world of freedom; I would suggest that he is living on another fucking planet if he really believes that. But as for "...in football we have no boundaries. We open everything to everybody"; well I'm sure there's a pun in there somewhere.

I'm looking forward to Qatari reaction when Israel qualifies, LOL.

That's another one, banned. I don't doubt the Qatari national squad can play, I know they can. But it's surely just a complete, fucking, logistical, fucking nightmare...
