The whole quote is...quite something:

>Today I feel Qatari. Today I feel Arabic. Today I feel African. Today I feel gay. Today I feel disabled. Today I feel [like] a migrant worker.

>“Of course I am not Qatari, I am not an Arab, I am not African, I am not gay, I am not disabled. But I feel like it, because I know what it means to be discriminated [against], to be bullied, as a foreigner in a foreign country."

>“As a child I was bullied – because I had red hair and freckles, plus I was Italian so imagine."

Close the books on anything bad you have to say about this guy and FIFA. He was red haired and freckled for Christ’s sake!

Because as we all know being ginger is exactly the same as being gay - if not worse.

Thanks South Park!

If you read the above statement without context it could almost come from Megan Rapinoe. From the guy who allowed this whole situation to develop, it is infuriating.

We have to be better. We ALL have to be better!
