Big segment on 60 Minutes last week on FIFA. Really appalling.

Hmmmmm...I thought European business practices and leadership were models for Americans to copy.

I guess I'd probably find out if I read that very long article, but I've wondered how it is that the United States Justice Department has jurisdiction in this case.

They've said it before, a lot of the stuff they are going after centered around activities in CONCACAF (the North American segment of FIFA) and had a lot to do with business that was being conducted out of the offices in Miami. The jurisdiction isn't all that controversial here.

JSO doesn't let facts get in the way of his blind hatred for the feds.
