I'm happy to finally see his response to the new scandle. His original video on FIFA is *related=http://videosift.com/video/Last-Week-Tonight-with-John-Oliver-FIFA-and-the-World-Cup

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: FIFA and the World Cup has been added as a related post - related requested by RFlagg.

I wonder if insulting the sponsors is the best way to get them to rescind their support. Also, how come Visa got off easy?

The problem is that sponsors will yank support in less time than it takes to change the channel when an episode of 19 and counting comes on, if and only if, it involves an individual or small group.

Getting them to yank support from a sporting organization that has a larger fan base and that is more corrupt than the NFL is almost impossible. In fact, and I wish I could find the article, Budweiser already doubled down on their support for FIFA after the indictments became widespread knowledge.

Realistically, I think that Blatter could make a video saying he knew all about this and completely supported every phase of the corruption without any chance of sponsors pulling from FIFA. The only way FIFA will fall is if the top teams and countries leave the league to form a competing one.

Edit: found the article, it basically has a statement saying they will continue to monitor their partner. the article goes on to compare it to a much stronger worded scolding of the NFL over DV. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/why-wont-budweiser-scold-fifa-2015-05-29

With Blatter resigning I wonder if next week we'll see John Oliver doing all those things...

I'll be damned. They must have a smoking gun on him.

Somebody finally explained to Blatter that "untenable" and "unassailable" are not synonyms.

What if everyone just stopped playing and watching football for a year or two? FAN STRIKE! Erase football from your mind until these worker exploiting pyramid builders are gone.

egad! he's been "blacked out" {from my server...i hear, but do not see}

Ding dong the witch is gone!!

When he stepped down he stated that it had absolutely nothing to do with ongoing prosecutions and investigations about corruption at FIFA. And he did so with a straight face, somehow.
