Sepp Blatter

[rover-n-out]

I'm reading on Yahoo News that Sepp Blatter has stepped down as President of FIFA due to corruption charges, after having his Twitter accounts hacked.
Apparently, he defended himself by saying...."So what if I took money from a Qatari prince, I am the familiy's bread earner".
Astonishing statement, but not entirely unexpected. If true, bloody good riddance to a nasty man.

He was hacked according to Sky.

Hilarious. Why can't FIFA just grow some and fire this Kitson?

The Yahoo article was saying that the hacker put on Blatter's page that he is stepping down, not that he is actually stepping down.

Blatter leaving FIFA would be like FIFA leaving FIFA.  He "owns" FIFA to the extent where he's taken all the corruption within it and made it his own corruption. It's now an organisation akin to the mafia, it considers itself about international governmental ruling and is allowed to do so.

If I genuinely thought about it for any length of time I would probably move away from any sort of football considering it's eventual feed to FIFA
