RE: The Future of Football

in #politics7 years ago (edited)

It has some positive aspects, I am from Honduras and we had a president who was really corrupt his administration was at that time 1990-1993, considered one of the most corrupt in the world by US senator Jesse Helms. Well, guess what? A few years ago he was named president of the Honduras football federation and it turns out he was corrupt there also. But this time he made the mistake of making some illegal transactions in the US, so the US justice department had him extradited and he is now in Miami waiting for his trial. I don't know if he will be imprisoned, but he has already declared himself guilty of several of the charges. So you see, someone who was untouchable in this country is now in deep trouble in the US, so FIFA scandals might be good after all.

That is an important aspect. Thank you for the comment.
These FIFA scandals destroying the football culture and this is the main problem about we talk here.

Yes, of course, we have enough problems with referee decisions, which might be human mistakes, but on top of that have administrative corruption and the whole sport is in trouble.
