So is this seen as a good thing? That Coca-Cola and McDonald's are demanding who the head of FIFA is?

Coca-Cola and McDonald's making demands is much worse for football than the alleged corruption. So FIFA funded the development of football in Africa, who cares.

If those corporations were directly involved, they wouldn't be calling on Blatter to resign since he likely knows where the bodies are buried. More than likely they don't want their corporate image associated with, well...him. Nor their money.

Nah, they're probably just going for the positive press that they might get... 6 months after the corruption charges surfaced.

Adidas is the only core sponsor that really has weight with FIFA....seeing as they basically invented the whole World Cup thing et al.

Hoops posted:I'd rather have Sepp Blatter in charge of football than Coca-Cola in charge of football. But wasn't Blatter the one who basically negotiated/brought in the current system of World Cup corporate sponsorship under Havelange? So its his fault that they have that much power in the first place? Granted this is based upon a quick watching of United Passions, but I feel that is a objective and reliable historical source.

Alternately, they are massive corporations and run by more than one person, and so somebody at Coca-Cola may have agreed a shady deal years ago and now someone else at Coca-Cola is trying to distance the corporation from FIFA once all the dirty laundry is being aired.

It's almost certain that if the sponsors are linked at all they will sing like birds to the US DOJ in exchange for immunity rather than get sucked into a proceeding of their own. Hell the FBI would probably be jumping over themselves to give them immunity, the sponsors would have the best evidence of any corruption and conveniently located in the United States already.

So who's in charge more? Seems like most of FIFA's leaders are in jail, under investigation, suspended, fired, or have resigned.

It's going to be like the Iraq War where the US military kills a different #2 in Al Qaeda every week. Eventually, Don Garber will control FIFA, and ban promotion-relegation forever.
