FIFA President Sepp Blatter is protesting to the Italian football authorities over a decision to only fine AS Roma 50,000 euros (US$64,865) after its fans racially abused AC Milan players.
A Serie A game on Sunday was stopped for almost two minutes during the second half when visiting Roma supporters would not stop chanting at Milan players Mario Balotelli and Kevin-Prince Boateng. On FIFA's website yesterday, Blatter says it is "surprising and is not understandable" that the Italian Football Federation has not investigated the incident and only gave a "pecuniary sanction". He added: "I'm not happy and I will call the Italian Federation." In a separate Twitter message, Blatter says "small fines for racist abuse unacceptable. People will always find money."
