    I'm beginning to think every sport is rigged and fixed. Seems like every league in every sport has some kind of shady shit going on.

    Wow, FIFA, still a fucken joke. Unreal

    I don't follow soccer. I don't see why it is so popular. I do tune into the World Cup and watch the States play, but that's it. My question, if the world wide governing body is so corrupt, why does it have such a huge following? Why don't fans say "enough is enough"?

    I'm assuming FIFA is the governing body, apologies if I'm wrong, but I think my questions are still answerable if I'm wrong there
    It's the most popular sport in the world. People will watch no matter what. Kinda like the NFL in the US....Goodell is a complete fucking clown and the owners are a bunch of greedy fucks, but the ratings are higher than ever.

    The other thing no one really mentions about Blatter is that he's 80 years old. Do we really want an 80 year old running the most popular sports organization in the world??? Crazy.

    Considering the Maldives have the same voting power as China, there is no way he wasn't going to get re-elected. Too much money on the table for a shitload of poor nations to give up. A few heads roll but the party train keeps on moving.

    Anywho, I'm thrilled with this decision. I got my bag of popcorn ready to see what happens next.

    It's comical that FIFA and Blatter allowed Israel to join the euros even though they're in the Middle East. Talk about corruption at its finest. You have money, you get what you want.

    completely unrelated, but I had the same thought when I saw Israel had an entry in the Eurovision contest.

    Fuck! Pissed that Blatter got elected to his 5th term today. I thought today was the perfect opportunity to dethrone him given all of the scandal, but that guy has the $$$ to make shit happen. Prince Ali withdrew from the 2nd round of the vote after Blatter won 133 votes to Prince Ali's 73 in the first round. Not as close as I had hoped, and now Blatter has 4 more years to screw the sport.

    Jeff, you hit it right on the head. Blatter is a cancer for the sport.

    I'm willing to bet the US threatened to add him into the investigations if he didnt step down.

    His 2nd in command got nailed with taking a $10M bribe earlier today. The writing is on the wall. Someone will turn on him to save their own skin.

    I imagine the Qataries are starting to go into "oh shit" mode.

    No way Qatar keeps it for 2022, right?? U.S., England, or Australia could easily host it. Stadiums and infrastructure are already place. And thousands of people won't fucking die because of it like in Qatar.

    He has reportedly been nervous about coming to the U.S. In fear of being arrested for a while

    I don't think so. Russia shouldn't keep it either, but Russians are crazy so I don't think they will be stripped. Qatar on the other hand, they are completely fucked, especially since they can't host it in the summer.
