Fifa: Sepp Blatter, Michel Platini & Jerome Valcke suspended
Acting president is Issa Hayatou (investigated for accepting "gifts" in the ISL standard, not punished as FIFA had no rule against bribery at that point)Silverdude2167 said:

Nobody in the US is bribing him. His bribes are all from Africa and the Middle East, why would he fear getting arrested? Most of his money comes directly from the despots in charge of the various oligarchies, monarchies and dictatorships under his purview.SoxFanInCali said:He was confident enough to come to Canada to present the Women's World Cup when Sepp was too afraid of getting nabbed to travel.

Change a few words in this post and you could easily pass if off as a post about the 2016 US Presidential election. Fuck me.Obviously in a perfect world this organization in its current state would simply be disbanded, but since that is impossible we should be praying for Prince Ali, right? He certainly talks a good game (even if running as the anti-Blatter is a no-brainer), but how much does this election even matter when the show is likely still being run by countless corrupt pieces of human garbage who are only interested in maintaining the line-our-pockets status quo?
