This came on tonight on ESPN (and is actually on right now on ESPN2). Anyone else watch this? I found out about it on the drive home when Schapp was interviewed on SiriusXM FC. Just made me hate FIFA and Blatter even more. The man can do whatever he wants with absolutely no fear of repercussions.

It covered Blatter from his controversial election in 1998 to Russia and Qatar. One thing I didn't realize is that every member nation receives an equal payout from the World Cup. So Andorra, San Marino, Leichtenstein and Montseraat get the same pay day as Germany, England, Spain and the U.S.

Germans. Errrrr... Swiss.



I'm ok with that payout. God knows Montserrat and San marino need it.

And yes it's a massively fricked up situation. I've only ever rage quit a single book in my life and it was "Foul." It outlines a lot of this stuff. Havelange was corrupt as shite but Blatter took it to another level.

There's nothing really wrong with the payouts, but, it's one of the big reasons Blatter can continue to win reelection. Those smaller nations don't want to risk losing those massive payouts.
