FIFA is notoriously corrupt. Just as the IOC is notoriously corrupt. Just as Putin is notoriously corrupt. Just as the arab oil states are notoriously corrupt. No matter what the motivation - and I don't see obama getting in on this because there's nothing in it for him at the moment - the arrest of FIFA officials is 100% legitimate.

What on earth can be going through the mind of a 80-year old man as he seeks to add millions of euros to the millions he already has? Looks like he's so deluded he thinks he's gonna live for ever?
Is this really even shocking to anyone at all? I really do not understand when people get full crazy over the "revelation" that FIFA is corrupt because to me it has been the most given of truths since the beginning of times. This kind of corruption is reality in all democratic and supranational organisations and anyone who believes anything else is not only naive but also stupid.

Best of all, journalists believe him and don't qeven uestion him one bit.
