Four days after being re-elected to a 5th term as head of FIFA (the international soccer association), Sepp Blatter stepped down. Blatter is quoted as saying just days ago “Why would I step down? That would mean I recognize that I did wrong.”
Apparently after the arrest last week of a number of soccer officials on behalf of the U.S. Attorney General, the noose was starting to close in on old Sepp when one of his underlings was caught making a $10 million bank transaction that is being connected to the earlier bribery cases.
Blatter late than never.

Sorry to say, but FIFA is second in corruption to our elected in the halls of government. Heck even the township heads, past and present, around here are either already in jail, indicted, or under investigation. The only difference seems to be the amount of money sloshing about for fingers to grab.
Watch the John Oliver segment on the Conservative Tree house link, it’s very, very funny.
Was going corrupt over soccer really worth it boys?
I heard this story on the radio today. I thought the guy’s name was Step Ladder.
I thought I heard “Sick Bladder”. lol
Amazing, its worth $200,000 and it’s still a bunch of junk!
That’s what Blatter gets for thinking he is in Hill-Billy’s class of evil. He hasn’t bought enough protection from Me, yet. Of course, the protection ends when I find a better tool, or natural life ends.
