You know Chris Rock used to do that bit about how there would never be a black vice president, because a black guy would just kill the president and then go to jail where all the other black guys inside would treat him like a king? There are probably lots of football fans in jail is what I'm saying.

Sepp is a drunken prom date who starts out promising just the tip but by the time you know what's happening he's shouting "ONE MORE TERM! ONE MORE TERM!" over and over again.

This is an excellent thing for FIFA because no one is going to make them give back the Qatar bribe money, so they can hold a new round of bribery to decide who gets to actually host the 2022 World Cup and get twice as rich.

At this point Blatter knows that if he was to ever leave office, his successor will just utterly ream him for all the corrupt poo poo hes done purely to cement their position. He knows he needs to leave that office in a coffin or he'll be in prison.

I'm not joking there. I literally think that he's refusing to leave office because he knows with all the shady poo poo he's done, he'd spend the rest of his life in prison after his successor goes on a crusade to clean up Fifa and uses him as the scapegoat for decades of fraud and mismanagement.

If he loses it's going to be to someone promising radical change and that means the blatter clan goes down as a scapegoat for everything FIFA's done so he's not leaving the post alive if he can help it.

I think it's also the fact that he has his fingers in so many pies nobody who follows him will be able to match it and all the old cunts think their free money will dry up as soon as he's gone.

I would like to think in 30 years or so it will have all come out about how this was one of Footballs darkest periods and we look back and wonder how he was able to get away with it so blatantly.

Well Sepp's predecessor Joao Havelange was at least as corrupt and shady Blatter and he seems to have lived pretty comfortably for the last few decades. If I remember correctly he is over one hundred years old and immensely wealthy. It's true, the worst ones never die young.

Yeah I just deposited 50 million quid into my own bank account, incidentally the next 3 world cups are going to be held in bahrain and the local sheik and his mates are allowed to be in it and have an automatic bye to the final. What's going to happen. That's right, nothing.

His granddaughter (Joana Havelange) makes like one million dollars a year as the head the world cup organizing committee (a position she got back in 2007). That is despite the fact that she has no clear function in the committee, and spent almost the entirety of the run up to the confederations cup last year twitting pictures of her at last year's Coachella and other parties in California.
