World Cup Series Ep. 3 - FIFA's Corruption
FIFA would claim that it is individuals that are corrupt, not the organisation itself. Well, our counter to that would be that an organisation that sets itself up with such a concentration of power amid a sea of wealth, with little oversight and so much money to be made cannot deflect blame when corruption becomes endemic.
When Russia and Qatar were awarded the 2018 and 2022 World Cups in late 2010, a domino was pushed over. Rumours of corruption made it to the FBI, and a group of agents - some soccer mad, some veterans of mob takedowns - began to investigate.
Today, we discuss how those dominos fell, from Chuck Blazer to Jack Warner to Sepp Blatter himself, and how the house of cards came tumbling down - only to go on under Gianni Infantino with a few cosmetic changes and a promise of more oversight. Criminal organisations always find a way of going on with a new generation, after all.
