Dumbarse

quote:

Former FIFA vice president Jack Warner from Trinidad and Tobago was among the 14 officials charged in the Justice Department's investigation into global soccer corruption last week.

On Sunday, Warner posted a video on Facebook to assert his innocence and rip the United States. To bolster his case, Warner tried to expose the U.S. of being guilty of a double standard. His proof? An article published in the wake of the indictments titled FIFA Frantically Announces 2015 Summer World Cup In United States. "If FIFA is so bad, why is it the USA wants to keep the FIFA World Cup?" Warner says on the video while holding a printout of the article.

The problem? The article is from The Onion, the satirical website.

Daddy, tell me a bedtime story with a happy ending.

"A plane full of IOC staff collided with a plane full of FIFA staff over the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. There were no survivors. The world is now a much better place. The end."

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!
