There is something deeply uncomfortable about public lynchings, or being tried and convicted in the court of public opinion. The allegations against these officials are just that, allegations. Nothing proven, and not a scrap of evidence. FIFA is a brilliant organization, who richly deserve the charitable, tax-free status that they enjoy in Schweiz. Their mission of world peace through lucrative TV rights, corporate sponsorship and occasional football has been a stunning success. I believe Sepp Blatter has exemplified tremendous leadership in moulding FIFA into a force for good. He's been treated with derision and contempt, yet has conducted himself with dignity and grace. Vive la FIFA. |
