I thought this was a joke until I watched the video. He really does hold up the article for a while. It's beautiful.

Yeah, he's super serious about this idea. Is that the scariest part of the debacle? Not only is FIFA the most corrupt sporting organization on the planet, a former 2nd in command (could be wrong, thought he got there though) can't figure out that an article alleging that a World Cup was announced and would commence play in mere hours was not serious. He is really that stupid.

Side note: I wonder how his lawyers feel about him posting this video? It is not a good reflection on him.

There are two of this thread, but to repeat what I said in the other:

I, for one, am glad that FIFA has guys like this ensuring the integrity of the game. Thank you, Jack Warner. You've uncovered another invasive US plot!

Maybe he just didn't know what The Onion is?

Facebook did start adding a "satire" tag to articles like that b/c people were too friggin dumb to realize they were reading fake news.

I get that but its a bit silly to think a dude from Trinidad and Tobago would know what it is when even people form this country need to told its satire.

This wasn't even remotely possible to believe though. It alleged that FIFA announced a World Cup with games to start ON THE SAME DAY. Like, dude, read that shite and don't be a total moron.

waiting for Dr RC's reply which will be something like... yeah, but those are just words in the article, and words don't always mean what they are strung together to say

One of the absolute funniest things I have ever seen.

Karma is a bitch Mr Warner.
