How corrupt is Michel Platini, on the Blatter scale? .8 Blatters?

This is great and all, but does this mean that America will be instrumental in the 'new FIFA' that's to come once this is dismantled?

Hello playoffs, annual world cups, and commercial breaks!

We've lost our appetite for rebuilding the things we destroy. You'll be able to do what you want with the rubble.

apparently it's been a thing since 1936

I thought it was added in the 1990s because of NBA bullshit or something

It was amateur-only before that. Then in 1992 the rest of the world finally came to terms with their latent desire to be brutally humiliated by rich, smirking Americans.

Seems like the only reason someone would waive their right to fight extradition would be if they'd worked out a deal to cooperate with the investigation, right?

Reviving this thread because I can’t think of where else to put it.

https://www.scmp.com/sport/football/article/3113955/chinese-super-league-tightens-salary-and-spending-rules-warning

The Chinese Super League is being told by the government to cap salaries further than they already are, capping foreign players at 3 million Euros a year. The loophole being that image rights and third party sponsorships are not capped but subject to approval by the government. I expect a lot of official Malaysian potato snack partner of Graziano Pellè to make up the difference.

just imagine how much axle grease you could sell with Pelle's image rights

FIFA is not making a video game. Maybe some kind of mobile shovelware, but not something that would compete with major sports titles.
