Ofcourse he is. It doesn't exactly reflect well on them. Everyone around the world knew their bid was corrupt. Same with Qatar. Even probably Brazil. South Africa's certainly was.

With respect to John Oliver he isn't saying anything that's a revelation. Anybody who pays attention knew already. It's been corrupt for years and years, everyone knew world cup bids went to whoever bribed the most. Only thing now is that the FBI have gotten involved and actually made arrests.

Sepp Blatter is like a mafia don. Everyone else will take the fall but him, and he's exactly like Robert Mugabe in that he rigs elections and won't step down till the day he dies.

FIFA is a criminal organisation. It's more powerful than entire countries. Some people might think this bizarre, it only being a sporting organisation after all, but the power they wield is frightening and real.

I'm glad they're getting fucked in the arse now though, bout damn time. The only thing that sickens me is that Sepp Blatter isn't in a prison cell already.
