To be fair he is a bit like Jesus. He's living in the past, somehow gets people to believe his fantasy stories and has a band of loyal followers from Africa and the Middle East.
Jesus; Water into wine
Mandela; Segregation into unity
Blatter; Money into votes
Not quite the same thing is it?
Reading the article I really do wonder as to the sanity of anyone that thinks that the job of FIFA president has anywhere near the impact on the world as Luther King, Lincoln, Mandela etc.
Those are names that will resonate in history, Blatter will ultimately end up a dirty smudge in the history of football. People outside the game won't remember him and won't care when he eventually shuffles off into the sunset.
