Bip Roberts posted:Right, they received bribes and dispensed sub-market-rate contracts. This is a straight-up diversion of money from FIFA's coffers to the pockets of the board members. Yeah but if I ran a business or became an executive, my only goal would be to make disgusting amounts of money myself, because otherwise I wouldn't put up with the chore of running a business or being an executive.

And having the largest foreign policy triumph in decades be about loving football executives (and not, say, eliminating world hunger or lucking into backing the right guys in the middle east) is pathetic.

Charlie Mopps posted:The president of the French football association, Noël Le Graët, said in a reaction to Blatter's resignation that 'Blatter is to blame for nothing'. It's a shame that "he totally threw himself on the sword despite his innocence" wouldn't be covered even by RICO charges in this case

Some extra fallout on the side: DFB (German football association) ex-president Theo Zwanziger called Qatar the cancer that is killing futbol a few years ago. Qatar finally gets around to categorically denying that it's cancer (but not the other thing ), and sues. Zwanziger hires the most expensive lawyer in sight, a former politician who has wrangled money out of the Deutsche Bank

Criminal mismanagement and/or misappropriation On the other hand, this could have all been avoided by explicitly declaring that FIFA's primary purpose is making rich old guys richer as they get older, with the help of a futbol tournament organising public relations arm

Badger of Basra posted:e: the fifth guy is Tokyo Sexwale Give this man the job, because the only thing that could possibly make the FIFA clusterfuck even more beautiful is hearing a news anchor say the words "according to a statement by FIFA president Sex Whale." If I were a football executive, my voting strategy at this point would be to maximise hilarity above everything else.
