Ronaldo, modern day slave?

[Guest Stephen Turner]

Following on from Madrid President Calderon's blatherings last month to the effect that Man Utd couldn't "Enslave" Twinkle toe'd t*** Ronaldo, Sep Blatter, President of FIFA, has made a startlingly similar claim. "United are treating Ronaldo like a modern day slave"

SO 1, Do you find this language insulting to the memory, and reallity of slavery.

2, What on Earth is Blatter doing pronouncing on this matter anyway?

3, Is there anyone in football's major bodies who isn't on a bung from the Franco's(Real)
