Letter to FIFA

14 February 2007:

Dear sir/madam

I have started a website today called sportscheat.wordpress.com. It is to represent people disillusioned with the Premier League and sports in general where blatant cheating missed by referees (they can’t see everything) is not punished on video evidence.

We believe that FIFA should be more concerned with cheating then fingers to the mouth or hands to the ear during goal celebrations (new FA regulations for 2007/2008 season). We have set up a petition for you at the site.

We are also giving out the email addresses of sponsors of the Premier League and of any player caught cheating on camera and are asking people to email them to let them know their products are being boycotted.

Lets kick cheats out of football!

I look forward to your prompt reply.

Sincerely,

midnightjester- disgusted with cheating in sport and a football fan for 26 years
