'Lukewarm' is wildly optimistic, try utter apathy. If you guys want to return the favor and investigate our sports leagues that would be great; sadly I doubt any of them used your banks.

Also an EU-led investigation of the NFL would probably be casus belli. The national guard would be mustered.

In any case, the sentiment common to my European friends re: FIFA is basically "burn the fuckers" and that this is the best American global initiative since WWII.

Yeah. When I woke up and read the news I was wholly uninterested, and then midway down the article they mentioned RICO and my eyebrows shot up. I'm amazed it's not mentioned in every headline.

I wouldn't particularly put it past them, but how do you even manage to kill 4,000 workers while building facilities? Unless the construction sites literally involve chunks of cement being flung by trebuchets, that is far too high a number for workplace casualties. Even if you don't give a poo poo about safety, you can't kill that many people and build a stadium at the same time.

What are the actual causes of death?
