Former Arsenal, Newcastle and Tottenham defender Sol Campbell has slammed Sepp Blatter for his comments on racism. The FIFA president suggested that racism can be resolved simply with a handshake.
But, Sol Campbell thinks Blatter's comments will be hard to forgive, as football fights a long term battle with racism.<br />
"For me, it doesn't wash," he said. "For the head of Fifa to come out with something like that is shocking. I'm astonished he's still in a job. I think he should do the honourable thing and step down.<br />
"When racist comments come from another player, it's even more hurtful. It's sickening, it's disgusting. People saying it's ok [if they shake hands later], it's unbelievable.<br />
"He's the head. He should know better. He's compromised Fifa big time. The longer he stays, Fifa will become weaker."
