FIFA President Sepp Blatter apologized yesterday for saying gay football fans should "refrain from sexual activities" if they planned to go to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Gay groups have called for the head of the world soccer governing body to either apologize or resign after his comments this week. Homosexuality is illegal in Qatar. "I will not enter into such a discussion but I will just say here if I hurt a group of people in the world by making those comments then I regret it," Blatter told a news conference in Abu Dhabi. Qatar was awarded the World Cup this month ahead of Australia, the US, Japan and South Korea.
