You're also vastly overestimating the popularity of soccer in the US if you think this is a PR stunt. And even among americans that like soccer, half only like the US soccer teams.

Didn't fifa make something ludicrous like a 4 billion dollars from the 2014 world cup from all their contracts and ticket sales and the Brazil government basically had a bill of twice that for hosting it?

FIFA has provisionally banned the guys indicted from all soccer activities. http://www.nytimes.com/live/fifa-corruption-live-updates/ “The charges are clearly related to football and are of such a serious nature that it was imperative to take swift and immediate action,” said Hans-Joachim Eckert, the chairman of the adjudicatory chamber of the FIFA ethics committee. “The proceedings will follow their course in line with the FIFA code of ethics.” Idioms concerning closing doors and horses leaving come to mind.

New York Times has a good piece on who everyone is and how they fit into the organization. http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/...v=top-news&_r=0 Once they start to turn on Blatter (and they will) he's proper hosed. One more thing, this is the first case for the new US AG so you can bet your rear end that this will not end well for anyone involved.

Look, we convict people. It's what we do. We freed the slaves and still left an amendment in the constitution that allows us to enslave convicts. Never let it be said that America can't find a motherfucker guilty. Blatter is a walking dead man.
