The most recent scandal to rock the sports world involves no sex, drugs, or domestic violenc. Just, you know, a hundred million dollars or so.

I’m about as surprised to discover corruption and bribery among soccer’s governing officials as I am to find corruption and bribery among any other petty dictators and tinpot tyrants. Newsflash: those with goodies to give away will do so. Probably to the highest bidder. Soccer bureaucrats act quite similarly to lawmaking bureaucrats in this regard.

Next time, soccer folks, remember to bribe the real lawmakers too.
