Yet again the yanks take action in another jurisdiction only to protect their sacred dollar.
FIFA is a Swiss based organisation -none of their bloody business
Brits, South Americans and Europeans play football. Yanks don't play much football or bother to watch it so why are they intervening in someone else's sport? $$$$$
Like all the wars they step in to play the good sheriff, they only do so if there's an ulterior motive or cash benefit for themselves. In this case the US based Media moguls have no doubt been moaning in the Feds ears that those greedy Europeans are not playing ball so can Uncle Sam red card them.
Personally I don't follow football or give a damn about how it's H.O. operates. Nor should the US Feds.

The Yanks also take the view, that if money is laundered through their banking system, then you've committed a crime in their jurisdiction.
It's actually growing strongly with kids and women. 30% of American families have someone playing the game, which is second only to baseball.Brits, South Americans and Europeans play football.

Not surprising really. Do you reckon Sepp could get away with deciding where any World Cup is to be held by not asking the question, "So, how did you guys come to the conclusion that Qatar, that exceptionally well known footballing nation, was the best place to hold the World Cup?"?
A financial penalty, pun intended, for a financial crime. Wet bus tickets all round.
