Qatar 2022: Sepp Blatter says corruption claims are racist

 

[Ragazza]

It's that type of garbage that makes a joke out of real racism, and why all the anti-racism campaigns in the world ultimately aren't going to work.

Not to mention that strong stance FIFA has taken against racism beyond the occasional kit badge.

Qatar 2022: Sepp Blatter says corruption claims are racist

If that's the best he can do he may as well drive off a cliff.

He's way past it, I think the old age is catching up to him. Talked about inter galactic cup... The guy just likes to talk nonsense.

what the fuck is this supposed to be....

 

[swag]

Why do people even still pretend that what Blatter says isn't the demented rantings of someone in deep need of a counsel?

 

[Hængebøffer]

In the news they are talking about a scandal before the World Cup on Qatar..... But it's the handball World Cup

IS IT TRUE????? LET'S HOPE SO!

Qatar Will Not Host 2022 World Cup, Claims FIFA Member

FIFA executive board member Theo Zwanziger believes that Qatar will be stripped of its right to host the 2022 World Cup finals, with a spokesperson for world football's governing body moving to insist that this is simply the German's "personal opinion."

Zwanziger cited the health risks for players and fans in the extreme heat of the Gulf state as the main reason behind his belief that the tournament in eight years' time will ultimately be staged elsewhere.

"Personally, I believe that the 2022 World Cup will not take place in Qatar in the end," he told Sport Bild. "The doctors say -- and I have demanded to have this registered in the records -- that they can't be held responsible for a summer World Cup held in those conditions," he said.

One FIFA member. Meh. Gotta tell them to come back when it's not hearsay but actual news.

 

[Bjerknes]

It's a step in the right direction though. More negative publicity allows for a cascading effect.

The dream is slowly withering away.

A lot of Qataris are gonna want their money back, so somebody at FIFA better be ready to write checks.

Bribes are non-refundable according to FIFA regulations.

How much does it take to bribe one of these guys? 1m, 2m max. It's just one guy.

Then think about the money they're willing to spend on all the stadiums etc, a billion or two. If that's the size of your wallet do you really notice the tiny millions? Probably not.

You seemed well versed in the practice and economics of bribery
