Just wanted to pen a quick
piece on how FIFA’s establishment ‘leaders’ – like Jack Warner and Sepp Blatter
etc. - are reacting to the indictments issued last week. In my opinion, these
individuals are human
skunks. Their stench has long been nauseating. And yet, because they've
been allowed to operate without judicial challenge until now, their arrogance
has become defining. They believe themselves to be untouchable. Case in
point... Mr. Warner has released a YouTube sermon that blames
his indictment on U.S. anger at losing the 2022 World Cup to Qatar. In his
weird video (with soundtrack overlay...), Warner advised
the FBI to, “Take your losses like a man, and go.”
Of course, as I noted last
week, ''hosting the World Cup in Qatar is like hosting the Super Bowl
on a middle school soccer field built by slaves. That is, if
that soccer field was based in the searing heat of California's Death Valley.
And was surrounded by religious fanatics shouting at women and those bringing
alcohol to the game.'' While Qatar's unsuitability for the World Cup has
always been unambiguous (watch the
video below), Warner and co. are refusing to show any remorse for
their malfeasance. In return, investigators will
simply redouble their scrutiny of FIFA dealings. Expect special attention towards the $1.58
billion in marketing
income that FIFA received from the 2014 World Cup.
Nevertheless,
the arrogance
of FIFA leaders reflects their utter unworthiness for the critical roles with
which they're entrusted. Amusingly, this
truth is encapsulated by the song with which Warner overlays his
sermon. It's the theme tune to "Inception''. A movie about a reality
built upon dreams. It suits FIFA officials perfectly.
