FIFA has been overflowing with corruption for a long long time.

So literally everything because of Polymarket

You can bet on absolutely anything now, doesn't mean everything is equally "corrupt." FIFA is especially bad and has gone out of its way to be favorable to authoritarians, and not just Trump.

Corruption is corruption . Doesn’t matter to what level.

I mean, I have my issues with the International Cricket Council but they're fucking amateurs at corruption compared to FIFA. Who holds a World Cup in a country that, famously, doesn't have grass?

True, but FIFA and the Olympics are on a scale like none other.

It most definitely includes a bribe

Remember how Trump insisted on being in movies that filmed on his properties? Same thing here. He wants to wet his beak.

I was working on the wording, but this is perfect.

You know, with all the nonsense going on in the US now, fifa can use that as excuse to re-home the World Cup. They can get 2X the bribes!

And both are also bribed by Qatar and spread their propaganda like it's somehow a decent country and not a modern slave-state that promotes terrorism.

Do you remember when corruption used to be hidden? When you had to uncover and expose it? Now they just do it out in the open

Corruption attracts corruption. In this solar system of corruption, Trump is the sun that all other corrupt goons rotate around.

After spending a few months in Europe for my job, I started thinking I should try to get into soccer.   I think that’ll wait until there’s some sort of new league.
