re: Top FIFA officials arrested on corruption

The US is the only nation that would go after FIFA because we care just enough about soccer to care, but not enough to want to protect the way things are. The DOJ looks the other way over the NFL's corruption because, well, they aren't stupid and the Attorney General would like to keep his job, a political appointment. But going after FIFA? Go for it.

thats pretty much what I'm saying from the American side.

they didnt bribe us enough to care less about corruption with the sport's rising popularity here

But really, the Qatar WC is a giant human rights scandal. Russia is just bribery and standard issue corruption. Qatar is murder, death, and human slavery. The US should completely boycott (meaning TV, too... that's where the money is).

I agree about this but that sadly aint what got us involved. If that was the case clothing companies and whoever else that uses virtual slave labor in Asia would be getting into way more trouble than they ever do.
