Don't they know that this election is going to have more scrutiny than ever? Are FIFA members really this dumb?

quote:

The suspended Fifa president, Sepp Blatter, and the Uefa president, Michel Platini, will be invited to the 2018 World Cup in Russia, the Russian sports minister, Vitaly Mutko said.

Blatter and Platini, the two men at the top of the world’s most popular sport, were banned by the world governing body for eight years in December over a spate of corruption scandals on their watch that, among other things, raised questions about Russia’s right to host the tournament.

Mutko told Russia’s R-Sport news agency that Blatter and Platini were appealing against their bans and still permitted to attend football events.

“Formally, the suspension prohibits them from any position in football. But on the other hand, how is it that an outstanding player like Michel Platini can’t go to the football?” Mutko said. “We will invite them, I see no problems with the events we are hosting.”

The Russia president, Vladimir Putin, has called Blatter “a very respected person” who had done much for the development of the global game, fostered it as a form of cooperation between countries and was deserving of the Nobel Peace Prize.

Let's RICO once and for all with this RICO that Sepp Blatter doesn't know what he's RICOing. He knows exactly what he's RICOing.

And Sheikh Salman, the next FIFA President who, remember, wants to run in an unopposed election, was good enough to sign a pledge that FIFA will respect human rights, although not before he insisted they remove all specific references to Russia, Qatar, women, and gay people.
