Sepp On Housewives, Pots & Kettles

January 7th, 2011 | by: chris | Comments Off

Uber-creep Sepp is back to his old tricks, offering up his weekly soundbite that is both confusing and probably a little bit offensive.

This week’s target: economically-challenged housewives. A group that, according to his Seppness, deserves to be randomly fired under the bus from time to time.

And a group which had absolutely nothing to do with the subject at hand, which was at the time the IOC and their handling of financial matters.

He says “our accounts are open to everyone. … The IOC does it like a housewife. She receives some money and she spends some money.”

Blatter also says the IOC “has no transparency,” and that any transparency was left to the Olympic-sanctioned sports themselves.

What does this even mean? Housewives don’t know how to open a savings account?

And doesn’t everyone “receive some money and then spends some money”? Isn’t that the basic crux of economics, when boiled down to something which could be explained to five year olds?

And while FIFA’s supposed “transparency” is great, it doesn’t mean opening the curtains to reveal the organizational equivalent of a hairy nude fellow killing a hooker is okay.
