Intro:
FIFA president Sepp Blatter wants team relegation as a sanction against racism as he spoke in Luque, Paraguay
Script:
SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Joseph Blatter, FIFA President
"In the whole world, we continue to see this lack of respect to human beings through these actions called discriminatory."
SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Joseph Blatter, FIFA President
"One day, we should set an example. An example is not just ban a stadium or a financial sanction. No! We should take away points. Take away points or relegate a team. At the moment we have in our world the courage to do this, discrimination will stop. But, at the moment, we haven't seen it anywhere in the world."
SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Joseph Blatter, FIFA President
"There's no other option. They must play under the Great Britain flag because there's only one national olympic committee. At the meeting at International Football Association Board in Belfast (Northern Ireland), I have spoken with all four (FA) presidents (England, Scotland, N. ireland and Wales) and they will look after the same solution for the Olympic Games in Rio in 2016. Because they want to attend in football. If they want to play at (olympic) football, they must lose their national identification of the four associations."
