I love how John Oliver took them down last year, it's great to finally see something being done about them.

Proud colonial here!

 :banana:

Take that action Blatter & Co.!  We don't want your money, we just want you gone. :rock

I was hardly shocked by any of these revelations though.  I attended a conference in Miami a few years back in which Andrew Jennings spoke.  He called this whole situation many years ago and has been like a pit bull trying to get people to listen.  He must feel really vindicated today!

Yup, good on the States for this one.

I hope they add FIFA to the same collection as UCI, as it was the States, and only the States, that got brought some practical hurt against the corruption of international cycling.

Wonder which of the three monkeys Sepp Blatter will be playing for the next little while.

It is about time!

Am I a soccer fan? no.  However it is a great game.  The majority of the world loves it.

Jeremy Schapp did a great report on FIFA and Blatter on ESPN and the wrong doing that was discovered awhile back.

The investigations are not over by a longshot.  9 FIFA Officials and 5 company executives have already been indicted.

Some have pled guilty already.  They are co operating with the authorities.

Blatter has not been indicted as of yet.  Feeling on my part............he will be.

I thought when the term colonial was used in the OP the reference was to the whistleblowers who refused to be bribed....they were from Bermuda, Cayman and Turks and Caicos.. ACTUAL colonials. :rofl

Snailman what would make you think he did no wrong?  Or is he just that powerful that he is bullet proof?

I think it's not that improbable he actually didn't.
By that i mean wrong in a strict legal sense.

All those that had been arrested now had been for corruption, money laundering and so on. And not for being power-hungry megalomaniacs.
There is no indication (so far) that Mr Blatter has ever taken any amount of money for himself taken part in any actually illicit activities. I'm absolutely convinced he was aware of a high level of corruption in the ranks of the FIFA, but he may very well have been smart enough to make it impossible to prove this general awareness.
For him it was probably all about his personal power and the power of FIFA itself. Like a good old Machiavellian Princeps, he made very good use of all the weaknesses of everyone around & under him.
Underlings getting rich? Fine, as long as they function in my interests. I exploit their weakness. And if they suddenly refuse to play my way, I may be able to blackmail them very subtly by my knowledge about their dirty little secrets...
