OT: Sepp Blatter Resigning!!!!!!!
Meet new boss, same as old boss.
Exactly. Those who were hoping for Prince Ali to win the election last week probably aren't familiar with the Jordanian Royal Family's record of corruption.
On the bright side, dude is wealthy enough to not be enticed as much via bribes.
And honestly can you name me families of that caliber of wealth who aren't corrupt or skirt the law unknown to the general public?
Meh.
I have never known a wealthy person who will turn down someone willing to give them more money.
John Oliver 4 FIFA Prez
Anyone but Michel Platini.
He already has a job here
Does this mean he has to drink a Bud Light with Lime? I was only partly paying attention to that segment so I don't recall the exact bet he made. Not quite the same as eating a lemon, but it will do.
I believe that the offer was for the major sponsors to withdraw support from FIFA in order to remove Blatter, not the replacement of Blatter itself.
I watched the clip again and that is what he said. However, I believe we may have hope for the future, that he drink that puddle under the Long John Silvers dumpster beverage.
I would be willing to bet that Oliver drinking a Bud LIght Lime to celebrate Blatter's departure might be one of the best comedy routines of the year.
a puddle under the garbage container outside of Long John Silver.
And how do you know what that tastes like?

Now that the Swiss deamon has been removed from the sport that he loves it will taste like fucking champagne!
I still ain't drinking that.
We have a winner! Somebody probably rolled.
The logical progression of any RICO case - people rolling, and rolling upwards.
It's all over for these criminals.
with no extradition treaties with the USA?

just in case any posters were considering it as a destination.
In all honesty though, I'd probably go to Vatican City. Sure you're limited to a small area, but you can eat all the Italian food you want!

Holy Amazeballs!!! I honestly didn't see this coming. They must have some serious shit on this dude.
...the PR guys from Nike, AB, adidas, McD's, etc. were probably right there with Oliver (or more likely, ahead).
Finally. Can we please move on, FIFA?

At least they didn't fumble this one!
no one dives in hockey, or flops in basketball
compared to soccer, your statement is factual.
I've never seen a hockey player act like he was on the brink of death for getting shoved and neither have you
But then they act like they were shot by a sniper . . .
Then roll around like their leg was also simultaneously shattered.
Or Worse
Americans are not unique in their distaste for diving/simulation. They are just not as familiar with the game. It might be more correct to say that diving is why many Americans are turned off by soccer.
And yes, as other commenters have suggested, it happens in basketball and hockey as well. In fact, it happens in direct relation to how big of an advantage it can potentially give your team. No matter how much a hockey player feigns injury, he can really only hope for a 2 minute power play. In basketball, where you can get opposing players ejected, it is much more prevalent. And of course, in soccer, where penalties are even more severe, it is rampant. This will not change unless the rules change.
Oh, and here's this...
That is a part of the game that I find absolutely hilarious. How can these gifs not amuse you?

flopping is to soccer what fighting is to the NHL
