Fifa Arrests

He does - commenting on every thread about cats...

For someone who has so much dislike for football, you dont half like to comment on it. Ever thought of using your time to do something else?

I don't care much for Republicans either, but it would irresponsible to give such persistent ignorance and stupidity a pass.

Here's the best solution proposed so far: http://tinyurl.com/pvvyxlh

"My Government is FIFA standard"
--Dilma Roussef

Indeed it is.

Both are equally false and distasteful.

Happy to have offended you. It's not easy.

Religion and soccer share an affinity for the boring scoreless tie, but both somehow manage to do their share of damage.

So what your essentially saying is the majority of the worlds population that have made football the biggest sport in the world are essentially stupid.
You dont come across at all arrogant. I bet you`ve never even been to a game before, or you went to one and it was 0-0 and you base all your facts on one game.
I dont like many sports but I dont go around berating them just because I dont like them.

I learned by doing it, the same as I did with handegg. Both failed the sniff test.

In fairness to soccer, it's an effective soporific in the absence of Ambien, The same is true of religion, but both are corrupt enterprises that collect money under false pretenses and launder it shamelessly.

corruption sucks. I am not so sure I don't agree with putin. what is the US justice department doing getting involved. FIFA is not head quartered in the US, its not a government, its not even a non profit organization. its a sports club or better a corporation for profit. the Miami office representing the America's? that's enough.

The scammers sent their money through US banks. That's easily enough to establish jurisdiction. For more details, see http://www.slate.com/articles/sports/sports_nut/2015/05/fifa_arrests_sepp_blatter_s_organization_might_actually_go_down_thanks_to.single.html

The question is whether the US prosecution will save soccer or destroy it. As an optimist, I'm hoping for the latter.
