Blatter, not THE problem of football. His departure won't make it all perfect.

Am I the only one that really liked Sepp Blatter?? Thought he was hilarious in the big brother house acting like a cat and purring!

Blatter wasn't sole responsible, more have to follow. Transparency and voting reform, then we move on and bring back ethics. #FIFA
