Qatar World Cup: over 900 workers died already, could be as high as 4000 by kick off
#21
FIFA
So, soccer fans - and I know you are out there - is anyone surprised by this?


http://www.cnn.com/2015/05/27/opinions/b...dictments/


Quote:In its 47-count indictment, issued in Brooklyn, the U.S. Department of Justice charged that some 14 people, many with official roles in FIFA, took part in a 24-year corruption scheme to fill their wallets at the expense of the sport. They allegedly awarded marketing and broadcasting agreements -- as well host bids, especially for 2018 and 2022 -- in exchange for under-the-table payments.
