Nope. FIFA is indeed a body which organizes football matches. One of the Fs actually stands for 'football' - you can look it up!

fifa is supposed to be a non profit organization. Blatter's salary is 2 million dollars a month.
Blatter's nephew's company, which had the rights of tv for world cups I believe was sold to a chinesse for over 1000 million dollars.
for each event, for instant America Cup, the fifa representative gets about 20 million dollars in bribes for the transmission rights.
Fifa is simply being used by these people to get rich illegally.

everybody knew this, except this time they angered someone who could do something about it. Fifa is supposed to use the money to help nations develop the sport.
nobody is going to stop watching games, thats for sure, an my main concern right now is that the Centennial America Cup in USA in 2016 gets cancelled.
We still need to wait to see if Switzerland will extradite the indicted to the US.

I'm pulling an 'I don't give a shit about this issue and don't understand why other people do'.
This seems like the sort of issue that can be self-policed by FIFA, its sponsors and football fans, without the need for people like the FBI to be wasting their time getting involved.

re post 2: What was wrong with having World Cups in South Africa and Korea-Japan? Qatar is obviously a shitty choice because it's an inhospitable desert, but South Africa, Korea and Japan are all countries with suitable climates and in which football is reasonably popular.

If the cops aren't arresting thieves, then why keep paying their salaries?

re1: continue to argue this would be stupid because I would lose
re2: corea japan sucked, they helped korea advance, and over the tv you didnt see any pasion, was simply boring for me, same with southafrica. as i said, it was a personal opinion. totally different from the WC in france, germany or brazil.
