Perhaps FIFA’s development funds are too small to make a difference. Or perhaps, given the corruption in the organization, a lot of the money earmarked for soccer development is being used to enrich local plutocrats at the expense of their countries’ soccer programs.

Blatter’s Reign At FIFA Hasn’t Helped Soccer’s Poor
It might seem hard to defend Sepp Blatter, the FIFA president who announced his resignation last week in the wake of a global soccer corruption investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice.
But a few brave souls have tried. Branko Milanović, a developmental economist at the City University of New York Graduate Center, wrote that while FIFA’s corruption may be regrettable, the decentralization of power under Blatter has at least contributed to the “spread of the game to the rest of the world” beyond the traditional European and South American soccer powers.

This is weird..Originally posted by Mosiah View PostBecause power corrupts, society's demands for moral authority and character increase as the importance of the position increases.
So how do you explain "society" excusing, ignoring or rationalizing the mass murders and other high crimes perpetrated regularly by the US Govt and its Babylon satellites like Britain??
Maybe this "society" you speak of believes that mass murder is merely a worthy exercise of "moral authority and character"???
Or could it be that so called society is...gasp!...Brainwashed by the Corporate Media into stupidity??

No, my sister. Sit at my feet for a while.
Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Your humble sage does not have any power, nor does he crave it.
Because power corrupts, society's demands for moral authority and character increase as the importance of the position increases.
Now, go forth among the people and spread the Good Word.

He doesn't even have control & influence over the French federation, BUT does he have the "qualities" that those seeking control of FIFA are looking for???
