Abby Wambach says FIFA rejected offers to install grass in stadiums for free for the Women's World Cup

That isn't possible because the women's game has no greater friend than Sepp Blatter.

http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/32621341

quote:

In an interview with BBC Global News, Blatter also said:
women's football is not yet played "the way he would like it to be played", citing a lack of organised leagues in some countries
female access to football stadia remains a "problem" in parts of the world, like Saudi Arabia and Iran, because of cultural issues

lol if this is true they really shouldn't have withdrawn their lawsuit because a Canadian court would rule in their favour in about 0.01 seconds after hearing this.

I think it's a pretty well done North Korea/PRC style propaganda poster, I don't think it's meant to be taken at face value.

Edit: I mean Blatter is literally standing on a pile cash.

“[Valcke] assured us that the Women’s World Cup would never be played on turf again. He gave me his word, which for me, that’s a win,” Wambach said. “For me, that’s progress.”

He also considers himself the "godfather of the organization of women's football in FIFA" so if you didn't realize he's full of poo poo yet then there's your indication.

Jerome Valcke is such a prick. Whenever I see his name I think about that dumb quote about beer:

"Alcoholic drinks are part of the Fifa World Cup, so we're going to have them. Excuse me if I sound a bit arrogant but that's something we won't negotiate," he said. "The fact that we have the right to sell beer has to be a part of the law."

Nah, eventually we'll probably get rid of our dependence on crude oil and at that point the rest of the planet will extend a unified middle finger towards corrupt slaver states like Qatar, but sadly that's still years away.
