Once again,[url=http://www.okskor.se]Nike Shox[/url], the head of world soccer has put his foot in his mouth.
Sepp Blatter, the man who infamously said that racism on the pitch could be settled by a handshake, has been forced to apologize to Cristiano Ronaldo after apparently mocking the Real Madrid and Portugal star.
When asked at a question and answer session at an English university last Friday if he preferred Ronaldo or his rival Lionel Messi, the FIFA president at first said he could not decide.
However, after extolling the virtues of Barcelona's "good boy" Messi, he stood up and gave the audience at Oxford a bizarre impersonation of Ronaldo, calling him "a commander on the field of play" and then claimed he spent "a lot more at the hairdresser's."
Blatter concluded: "I like both of them, but I prefer Messi."
Ronaldo, who was named Tuesday with Messi among 23 candidates for FIFA's 2013 Ballon d'Or world player of the year award, posted a response on social media along with a link to footage of Blatter's performance.

"This video shows the respect and consideration that FIFA has for me,[url=http://www.okskor.se/air-max-33]Billiga Air Max[/url], my club and my country. Much is explained now,[url=http://www.okskor.se]Nike Free[/url]," Ronaldo wrote to his 22.2 million Twitter followers and 64 million "likers" on Facebook.
"I wish Mr. Blatter health and a long life, with the certainty that he will continue to witness,[url=http://www.okskor.se/nike-free-38]Nike Free Run[/url], as he deserves, the successes of his favorite teams and players."
Ronaldo won the 2008 world player of the year title for his exploits at Manchester United, but has seen Messi claim it every year since his world-record $130 million transfer to Spain.
He has been runner-up four times, and was particularly aggrieved to miss out after helping Real end Barca's La Liga reign in the 2011-12 season.
Blatter's antics brought condemnation from Real, whose coach Carlo Ancelotti said it was "disrespectful."

"He shows every day that he is a great player and he respects everyone,[url=http://www.okskor.se/nike-free-38]Billiga Nike Free[/url]," the Italian said of Ronaldo, who has scored more than 200 goals in just over four seasons at Real .
Madrid president Florentino Perez,[url=http://www.okskor.se/air-max-33]Nike Air Max[/url], who signed Ronaldo, wrote a letter to FIFA complaining about the player's treatment by a man who is a "socio" (honorary member) of the club -- which represented Spain as one of the ruling body's founder members back in 1904.
"It that has been a huge disappointment among the Madridista family, especially since these unfortunate and unacceptable manifestations come from the president of world football's governing body," Perez wrote.
"On the one hand,[url=http://www.okskor.se]Air Max[/url], they are unfair to a football player who has millions of fans around the world. This is without doubt one of the best players of all time. He embodies the values of sport in a society certainly in need of these kind of examples.
