Newspapers announced Sepp Blatter’s resignation with terrible puns, except in the UK

Wish you all had better soccer puns or dad jokes, print journalism. Not you, UK. You’re awesome.

Sepp Blatter announced his resignation and this is the best you’ve got, print journalism?

Buenos Aires Herald (Argentina)

Come on, Argentina. Pretty much every sport has a whistle in it, not just soccer.

Herald News (New Jersey)

Alright, this one’s slightly better, because kicks to the head happen often in soccer (as well as other soccer-like sports and combat sports). Still, it could’ve used a dad joke.

OKAY, NOW WE’RE TALKING

“BLATT’S ALL FOLKS.” THANK YOU, METRO.

Still, we must pay our respects to the IRS guy who had a better dad joke than all of us.
