Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Saturday, January 17, 2004

Fifa president Sepp Blatter suggested that women soccer players should wear more revealing clothes to bring more attention to the game.

Players, not surprisingly, didn't like the idea. As Norwegian footballer Solveig Gulbrandsen put it, "If I wanted to wear a bikini, I would have chosen to play beach volleyball."

Said Canadian star Kara Lang: "I'd like to see Sepp Blatter wearing hot pants."
