Fifa president Sepp Blatter says football's world governing body will "have failed" if it does not adopt a zero tolerance approach to racism.
Uefa opened a disciplinary case against CSKA Moscow this week after Manchester City's Yaya Toure complained of being racially abused by their fans.
Blatter said: "If we are not able to go zero tolerance, we have failed." ...

Kicking Back Comments: Sepp, you have failed. You farmed out this serious issue to a committee lead by Jeffrey Webb who is asking why there are not more managers of color in the UK, when another serious racial incident occurred (and Platini started to blame the referee!) ... Sorry folks I called this one in 10 Matches is not enough.
Sepp you have failed, in failing to follow through on your words of points reductions, suspensions, or relegations for racists.
Sepp you have failed, in actually thinking that a handshake is a cure for racism.
Sepp you have failed, in bolstering a simple (5) match ban for racism. Are you serious? We are still at (5) matches?
Sepp you have failed, to not take a proverbial hammer to these people, and expel them, forever. You want to make an impression, suspend the next player guilty of this behavior for all eternity with no opportunity for a reprieve. You will get everyones attention, and get wide support for it.
Sepp, you have failed.
