The words “slavery” and “shackled” should not be mentioned on this site, or anywhere at all. Those words are reserved for people who understand the significance of them and can speak of those actions with personal knowledge. You should delete that link – it is an atrocious misuse of words for the benefit of press.

Sorry, Sooz, on this I disagree 100%. I believe that the linked article makes a valid point that it is Sepp Blatter who misuses and makes light of the word by comparing the actions of an overpaid, spoiled superstar to slavery. The pictures are shocking, but they make the point of the ridiculous nature of Sepp’s comments better than any words could.
