I am not in a position to judge this scandal. I received an appeal from Avaaz to help oust Blatter. I note that not only Putin, but Third World countries in general are reported to support Blatter.
Ken, would you accept a rudimentary comradely correction to the last sentence?
If instead of "Third World countries" you say "corrupt ruling elites running the Third World" then yes, you're on target. Their local soccer mafias are tightly aligned to Blatter's Zurich hq.
And then you'd join those of us in South Africa (2010) and Brazil (2014) - hopefully Russia (2018) soon too - who abolutely love soccer, who enjoy the World Bank, and who despise FIFA, especially under Blatter's imperialist rule.
