Next level 'Team America World Police' tax collection effort.
That said fifa and I'm sure most other sport organisations, including in our motherland are corrupt and prejudiced as hell.
You can't be president of the U.S. for more than two terms. It's a good thing, that stops someone becoming embedded and getting too used to kickbacks and whatever perks they get.
Beats me why an organisation like FIFA doesn't have similar rules.
It's good to have someone with "experience" in charge, but let it go on too long and it's hardly surprising they become oligarchs, and drift into corruption.
Measure once, cut twice. Practice makes perfect.
Would you believe ... since 2001, the president has earned a $400,000 annual salary, along with a $50,000 annual expense account, a $100,000 nontaxable travel account, and $19,000 for entertainment. The most recent raise in salary was approved by Congress and President Bill Clinton in 1999 and went into effect in 2001. (Wiki)
Apparently they make more money after their presidency from speakeing engagements.
Grow older but never grow up
Sepp Blatter has announced he has resigned, to spend more time with his family and his shredder.

Who's surprised??
There rich & powerful!...hence there corrupt, driven by greed and think there above the law.
...and with most of the PLANETS police and justice systems just standing back doing absolutely nothing but make special allowances for them...you can understand why they think there above the law and the rest of us.(Just look at our own politicians!...they stand on TV most nights announcing sweeping changes that only benefit there own personal "business interests", and the cops and serious fraud office etc just turn a blind eye to the blatant truth...cos its just to hard to arrest the rich!)
When Life thows me a curve
...I lean into it!
Last day at the office.

What drives USA strange interest in FIFA? - :http://www.counterpunch.org/2015/06/...nt-after-fifa/
I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!
You miss my point completely (Jeez .. don't drop me in with the other bunch ...)
Sepp was gone - no surprise there .. just how and when ...
Over the weekend he argued and fought .. and got re-elected ... I expected a longer fight ... maybe an arrest ... then he would go ...
Suddenly Mr Blatter, out of the blue, resigns ... That was a surprise .. you can't tell me that on Wednesday you expected Sepp to resign the following day ...
"So if you meet me, have some sympathy, have some courtesy, have some taste ..."
Settle, not a treaty pun, dear. (from here on in I'm gonna be exceptionally tempted to do just that given that you chose to respond like the other bunch... if the cap fits like).
I can see why you're surprised, but find that surprise surprising and communicated such in my own unique way. I lubz you.
The biggest surprise, for me, was that he went for re-election at all and didn't spend that time running for the hills (or that seed place in Norway)... although even that isn't really a big surprise given that not going up for re-election would have made him look even more guilty.

Another take on current FIFA problems! :http://www.counterpunch.org/2015/06/...-sepp-blatter/![]()
Took both the sprogs to watch some of the U20 world cup yesterday. Pretty sure that in both games the losing team had been paid to lose. Either that or they were just dire.
It was just like being back at Meadow Lane.
