    This is what happens when you elect a corrupt real estate developer who hires all of his corrupt real estate developer family members and in-laws and turns them loose on the planet with the waning hard power of the US government behind them, and you cross that with the traditional corruption of international sports federations, especially FIFA. But Saudi golf is trying as hard as they can to play in the same league.

    You know what they say, “it takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it”, and FIFA is really damaging their pristine reputation with this one.

    What would be a huge news for me is if the CAF which is probably competing with FIFA on the corruptest sports organization come in support.

    The fact that literally everyone knows FIFA is corrupt and accepts it is nuts.
