all the top fifa officials were taking millions in bribes from arab oil princes to host the world cup in dubai (where its like 120 degrees) in facilities built under slave labor conditions (i think they said like 60+ dead workers per game of soccer that will be played at the world cup)

"It's OK Buckles.....The Blotter has been defeated. Seth Blotter..."

Well old man Swardson knew there was a lot of work to be done. Blotter may have been defeated, but it was going to be up To America To Rebuild It, and he took Buckles and Rode off into the sunset.
