Nine FIFA executives and 5 sports marketing executives have been charged with (or have alread pleaded to) corruption, racketeering, fraud, and various financial crimes in an indictment that was unsealed this morning.

I hope the Feds burn that corrupt organization to the ground.
Honest question cause I know nothing about it, but does FIFA have any say on how hosts treat their laborers? They knew this was going to happen?
Even giving them the most generous benefit of the doubt by saying that they may not have known in advance (and that is being generous to the point of absurdity), when the abuses began FIFA could have pulled the World Cup out of there. They clearly have that power as they've held multiple revotes and have chosen to leave it in Qatar each time.
The fact that the World Cup is still scheduled to be played in Qatar despite the massive human rights abuses is sole due to the fact that FIFA doesn't give a crap about the human rights abuses.
This is none of our business, and history says we'll only make things worse.
1. It is our business. We are a member of FIFA, and CONCACAF in particular. There's a reason these indictments are mostly targeting CONCACAF executives.
2. There is no way to make FIFA any worse than they are. They are aiding and abetting slavery in the name of soccer. How much worse can they possibly get?
