FIFA is worse than the Mafia

At first, I was ready to compare FIFA to the Mafia, but that whole thing about Sepp Blatter providing essential services to Third World countries turned out to be a lie as the AP explained it.

The results spell out the unsettling truth
  • No trickling down of money to minor leagues
  • Youth players (i.e. supposed future World Cup stars) using old equipment
  • The inability of semipro players being unable to buy equipment or play on an appropriate field because soccer officials in some countries would rather pay their executives to stay in lavish hotels
