FIFA Corruption

[Maulbert]

Unbelievable (except that it really isn't):

"FIFA's Jack Warner accused of diverting funds intended for Haiti earthquake victims to himself"

I wondered how a man so fundamentally stupid as to think an Onion article was real could rise so high. I'm starting to understand. The nuts on this guy are the size of watermelons. No words equate to the amount of asshole I think Jack Warner is.

John Oliver responds to Jack Warner by buying time on Trinadadian TV to air a PSA.

Took in 900 Bucks over the weekend - a real blockbuster.
Destined to become an icon of irony!

My question would be does the FIFA also involve the womens leagues? Does anyone know?

The Swiss have announced they have officially opened criminal proceedings against Sepp Blatter.

The investigation is apparently focusing on deals between Blatter and Jack Warner and Michael Platini.

Just saw this. Why it's taken this long for anyone to do anything about his obviously shady fat ass is a mystery to me.

Same reason it took so long to capture Al Capone, Blatter's so deep and so connected that the investigators had to peel back 50 layers of corruption to finally get to him.

Probably gonna be another five years of nonsense in court before he finally gets what he deserves.

FIFA's ethics committee handed down a lifetime ban to Jack Warner.

Of course that doesn't really mean much for a guy who's already been away from FIFA for 4 years.
