Blatter says sorry for racism remark

Sepp Blatter said Nov. 18 he is "sorry" for offending anyone by his comments on racism in soccer but will not resign as FIFA president. Blatter said in an interview that he "deeply regretted" using "unfortunate words" when he said any racist abuse on the soccer field could be settled by a handshake at the end of the match. "When you have done something which was not totally correct, I can only say I am sorry for all those people affected by my declarations," he said. (AP)
