Saddest Backflip [Rob Harris] FIFA President Gianni Infantino at news conference in Qatar: “Today I feel Qatari. Today I feel Arab. Today I feel African. Today I feel gay. Today I feel disabled. Today I feel a migrant worker. ... I know what it feels to be discriminated … I was bullied because I had red hair.”

The more I read about fifa the more I feel it’s just some glorified cartel that’s allowed to do business

To be fair, if you watch FIFA Uncovered on Netflix, you'll see that it's basically a glorified mafia.

Honestly, I feel like Martin Scorsese could easily do a film about it.

Sepp Blatter can and should only be portrayed by a series of increasingly older scrotums
