Corrupt organisation does corrupt things. News at ten.

I was on the fence about attending a world cup (it would be my first) when the sleaze has been trying to say it's "his" for the last year. Since FIFA has been corrupt forever it probably means I won't be able to enjoy it as much because I'll be considering what I'd be endorsing. It's disappointing, I've wanted to go to one since I was a kid but considering there will probably be ICE raids in the concourse or psychopaths trying to drive trucks into the crowd to kill the [insert group] I'll have to forgo it.

I'm surprised I have heard anything about boycott here--therr was a ton of push for that during Qatar build up...

They should try installing the Eye of Sauron on top of the building, just to make sure the message is clear.
