About time a country gathered up the balls to do this, hopefully this will lead to the deposition of Europe's last true dictator-Sepp Blatter.

Their trials will be boring, drawn out, and end in a nil-nil tie.

These corruption charges have been happening more and more frequently for some reason.

I thought it was odd that countries that were perfectly capable and well deserving of hosting the world cup were being passed over for backwards ass third world nations that could barely hold their shit together long enough for a world cup.

If you know, you know.
Never understood why people who play a game get paid billions. They just enjoying their time by kicking a ball around - people fucking sponsor that shit?

Anyone want to sponsor me for a trip to Maldives? I will vlog while there, now give me $$$$$$$.

I'd say providing weekly entertainment for literally billions of fans worldwide is pretty useful for society.

No athlete is overpaid. Most are paid just right and some others are very underpaid.

I guess you guys just don't understand business.

Why is athletics considered an industry?

I always viewed sports as something to remain healthy. I just don't see it as a real job.

Because it's the entertainment industry as well maybe?

It's the same as being an actor or a musician. They are hobbies that we do for fun but the best of the best get to do them for a living.

People who are upset athletes get paid too much...

Well, in the history of civilizations and entertainment, people in that field will always get lots. As PSU said, actions, musicians, athletes, etc. They just do because they provide entertainment for billions around the world, and without some form of entertainment, humans would freak out.

You see how they cope in prisons? Humans need some stress relief (other than sex) to cope with life.

Now as for the corruptions, it's the people in the organization who are really getting overpaid. Forget the players, these old men are getting millions of untracked money and finally a government is doing something about it.

Hopefully this means the World Cup's for Russia and Qatar will be brought into light and hopefully rebid upon, because England speciously lost it for the 2018 one, and the US for the 2022 one. At the very least, Qatar should be fixed. People are literally dying there.

Meh

of all the sports games being released year to year, FIFA is far from the worst and actually has some amount of effort put into it. It's the games like Madden that are a joke.

Still, if you feel so upset about it, hows about you and I go to EA and torch the place?
