KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) -FIFA president Sepp Blatter says he believes he has apologized enough for his recent comments on racism that triggered a furor and considers the matter "closed."
Blatter told a news conference in Malaysia on Wednesday that he feels hurt by the criticism leveled against him.
The FIFA boss had said last week he was sorry for the uproar caused by his claim that any racial incidents between players could be settled by a handshake at the end of a game.
Blatter said Wednesday that he "can only say the item for me is closed."
He added that he has "made my apologies and I cannot say more."
He stressed that he believes there should be "no tolerance against racism."
