An American on FIFA’s executive committee, is claiming that Mohamed bin Hammam of Qatar — running against Seth Blatter as head of the organization was offering cash on the barrel ($40,000) in exchange for votes. (That's the happy couple above.)
The headline for the New York Times story reads:
“FIFA can’t ignore insider’s charges of corruption”
To which I reply: Sure it can.
Now, Blatter may not want to ignore the charges, for sheer political reasons. Bin Hammam, after all, is his opponent. But could he? Could FIFA? Sure. An organization that riddled with corruption can pretty do anything it wants — without a single blush.
