Qatar Bribes, And What They Buy

[UNHWildCats]

FIFA president Sepp Blatter today purchased a $125 million villa in Italy.

Way to let some time lapse between taking the bribe and spending it.

What a dumbass.

It's comical how transparent their transgressions are. You can't make this stuff up.

When Qatar won, my first thought was that they bribed someone. I'm sure many others thought the same thing, so this clown buying a villa at this time is really stupid, even if he wasn't bribed.

I thought he would come a lot cheaper than that. Kudos to him for holding out for a really good deal.

Bottom line is that we sent over Bill Clinton and Qatar sent a wad of cash.

I believe where he's from, it's pronounced "Gawd".

And yeah, Simmons is useless. Maybe the worst sports personality out there.

The only place that thing exists is on Twitter - a hundred twenty five million?. OTOH, the WSJ is reporting Qatar may have paid off the Argentina Football Association's $78 m debt, which the Argies flatly are denying. The NY Post and Daily Mail say two ExCo members were bought for just $1.5 m each - and not the two kicked off a couple months ago for extortion. The English have said due to the corruption they won't bid again
