Based on the most recent E60 by Schaap looking at Blatter, the Swiss government has been looking more and more into the inner working of FIFA and their corruption.

Not to mention the mounting pressure from many international human rights groups about the well-known use of slave labor in Qatar.

The corruption at FIFA has directly lead to the deaths of hundreds (probably thousands by 2022) of immigrants, which is can ultimately make the Swiss look bad.

Yeah, that's what was mentioned on his program. But they would have to enact legislation to make that change. There really wasn't an indication in the show as to how strong or not the support was for the movement though.

dan patrick says this is the single greatest moment for soccer in the USA.

I don't think I agree but it could be HUGE if actual punishments come down, especially for Blatter.

what say ye?

Let's say this leads to Blatter's downfall, would everything really change that much for the US? We would all enjoy it, but what else would really happen? I'm actually asking. I would think the goal to get us in the 1990 World Cup was bigger.
