In June 2014, David Gill walked out of a FIFA meeting in Brazil in protest at FIFA President Sepp Blatter, after he had labelled the British media as "racist", following serious corruption revelations published in The Sunday Times newspaper regarding the World Cup bids for Russia in 2018 and Qatar in 2022.[7] Gill, along with a number of other European football executives, called for Blatter to resign and not to stand for a fifth term in 2015. Gill said Blatter's behavior was "totally unacceptable".[8]
