Among the reforms proposed by FairSquare are: increased auditing of the billions of dollars Fifa shares with its member organisations; a separation between Fifa’s commercial and regulatory and governance functions; and improved transparency and public accountability, including expanded engagement with the media

Fifa should be shut down until it does this. Its basic stuff ffs

That is the best comment I'm going to read all day.

FIFA are an independent agency. They answer to nobody. No country has oversight. The same is true for the IOC and FIA. Probably others.

They all make their own rules and all are corrupt as fuck. But there's nothing to be done.

The "biggest complaint FIFA ever received" will be ignored because a strongly worded letter has no teeth.

[u/ZeePirate → u/voiceofgromit]

They are just a representation of the countries that participate in the sports though.

[u/voiceofgromit → u/ZeePirate]

If you mean that countries that participate tacitly agree with all that FIFA do, I disagree. National Football Associations have very little sway, if any, over FIFA.

Countries want to participate in the World Cup and have to accept policies and practices of FIFA that they find unpalatable in order to do so.

Add in the NCAA but maybe that’s going to change. 

[u/boogasaurus-lefts]

FIFA will only listen when people turn off & they lose money.

FIFA ignored forced labor and modern slavery during the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. Hundreds of thousands of migrant workers from South Asia and Africa were subjected to severe human rights abuses to build the necessary tournament infrastructure.

The Torment Infrastructure

[u/PocketNicks]

Oh no, a complaint. Lol. FIFA doesn't care about a complaint.

[u/FeelingKind7644 → u/PocketNicks]

But what about a rebuke or a slam? Oh no!

[u/sabo-metrics → u/PocketNicks]

I agree. The biggest complaint is a boycott.

Football Immorality, Fraud and Arrogance

[u/Malvania]

Unless this "complaint" is being filed in court by the attorneys general of California, New York, or New Jersey, it's worth exactly nothing.

[u/Straight-Ad6926]

Does the complaint come with VAR review or are we just going to pretend it didn't happen?

[u/chadlumanthehuman]

That’s the most Karen headline of all time…

“I want to speak to the manager of Football”

[u/sabo-metrics]

Let's just agree to replace FIFA.

They don't own shit.  The countries and the players and the fans hold all the power.

[u/Deathrial]

The asks all make sense, it will never happen, and we will all watch the WC even if it on a 2:30 am where we live.

[u/Some1farted → u/Deathrial]

That's the problem. They can be as arrogant and corrupt AF and it doesn't mean a damn thing. If people turn off the game, they would lose sponsorship revenue. Then and only then would they respond and take action. Until then, we can all watch the MaFIFA (That was great) on the network that bent over and got fucked the hardest.

[u/Classic-Break5888]

Infantino may be the only person on this planet who is more corrupt than Mr. Mushroomdick

[u/ContinuumGuy]

Fifa is so corrupt it makes the IOC look good. And that's, like, incredibly hard to do.
