OK I get that corruption is bad but they aren't like an NGO, they put on lovely sports games and everyone already knows they are hilariously corrupt.

Like unless you actually care about all those dead people building the stadium in Quatar does anyone give a poo poo that they were bribed to have their stupid game there in the first place?

Blazer's story is an interesting one. He spent millions of dollars during his tenure with FIFA and CONCACAF and lived an incredibly lavish lifestyle, including apartments in New York, Miami and the Bahamas. He had two apartments in Trump Tower — one, an $18,000-per-month unit he lived in and then a connecting $6,000 condo used mostly to house his "unruly cats."

Condos.

Not only that, but the FIFA people are being charged under the RICO statute. The FBI/DOJ going after you is only getting a very thorough rear end loving from the US government, but if they're using RICO on you then they're loving not only you but every one of your friends in the rear end and scientifically measuring who squeals like a piggy first just so they can slaughter the rest of them.

The fact that, according to this:

the Swiss have 'banking documents' means that their poo poo is hosed. Sepp probably thought he was all sneaky keeping his money in Swiss banks.

Actually that whole thing has been driving me crazy, giving money to the Clinton Foundation is not a scandal, by all accounts the Clinton Foundation is a good organization that does poo poo like gets clean water to poor African children, that is supposed to be a scandal at the center of a scandal.

Maybe they were bad people that did a nice thing on occasion, I mean even Hitler liked dogs.

by "all accounts" do you mean "by zero accounts" since they're rated as "dont give these shady fuckers any money" by charity ratings organizations?

the only question here is what was being bought with the money
