DOCTOR ZIMBARDO posted:It's sadly hilarious that the best target Obama can find for his lame duck crusade is FIFA corruption. It's hilariously sad that FIFA, simultaneously, warrants it. We could've slapped around the IOC just as readily, but FIFA has more money and arguably deserves it more. Edit: This is how loving ridiculous FIFA was: Chuck Blazer, the American who's plead guilty to corruption and is cooperating with the FBI, kept a $6000/month apartment in Manhattan for just his cats.

These guys are going to fold like a house of cards. A snarling US attorney waves 10 years under the nose of a 60-ish football executive and tells him that either he rolls or he's going to die a penniless ex-con? Those people are going to offer up everyone that they know. If I were Blatter I might be seriously considering suicide.
