The feds also raided CONCACAF HQ in Miami a couple hours ago.

If I'm on the IOC I'm torching documents.

The sicker thing is that this is unironically only possible precisely because Americans don't give a poo poo about soccer so FIFA is less untouchable than it is anywhere else on the planet.

Yeah I think a big part of this is that the U.S. Is most well equipped to take on FIFA because of:

A: RICO
B: lukewarm national sentiment towards soccer. If this were the UK or Germany for example then FIFA could threaten to ban them from International competition as effective leverage
