FIFA losing sponsors

What does FIFA do? They keep being a dictatorial regime. They do not care. Sepp Blatter has the support of most of the world footballing organizations. Advertisers will be unable to help themselves come World Cup time. Us liberal pinkos are the only ones that really complain. There are over 7 Billion people in the world. I am going to hazard a guess that many of them think Sepp Blatter is a great guy and that FIFA is the life blood of their favorite past time. FIFA are the Supreme Ruler of World Football. I always rather enjoyed this piece:

Sepp Blatter, Dictator

Anyone remember reading Kundera's "The Book of Laughter and Forgetting"? Here is the opening passage. I have always imagined that anyone getting in Sepp Blatter's way is kind of like Clementis. Blatter is Gottwald:

In February 1948, the Communist leader Klement Gottwald stepped out on the balcony of a Baroque palace in Prague to harangue hundreds of thousands of citizens massed in Old Town Square. That was a great turning point in the history of Bohemia. A fateful moment of the kind that occurs only once or twice a millennium.

Gottwald was flanked by his comrades, with Clementis standing close to him. It was snowing and cold, and Gottwald was bareheaded. Bursting with solicitude, Clementis took off his fur hat and set it on Gottwald's head.

The propaganda section made hundreds of thousands of copies of the photograph taken on the balcony where Gottwald, in a fur hat and surrounded by his comrades, spoke to the people. On that balcony the history of Communist Bohemia began. Every child knew that photograph, from seeing it on posters and in schoolbooks and museums.

Four years later, Clementis was charged with treason and hanged. The propaganda section immediately made him vanish from history and, of course, from all photographs. Ever since, Gottwald has been alone on the balcony. Where Clementis stood, there is only the bare palace wall. Nothing remains of Clementis but the fur hat on Gottwald's head.
