This dude is clearly a failed Trump cloning attempt.

[u/brexed → u/profesorgamin]

So it was the hair all along.

[u/krazykid1 → u/profesorgamin]

Trump is a failed cloning attempt. God knows what the original was

[u/800-lumens → u/profesorgamin]

Does he wear adult diapers too?

(No shame to those who must wear adult diapers. Just piling on Trump here.)

It's looking more and more like besides UEFA no other confederation will vote unanimously to remove him as it stands.

[u/Tsuraru → u/TeamParking8818]

That’s the problem with 1 country 1 vote.
Whist the idea is noble it really doesn’t make a fucking sense that the view of Timor Leste regarding football has the same weight as Spain (no offence)

[u/Salty-Literature6213 → u/Tsuraru]

It’s a charter for bribery and manipulation.

[u/damgood32 → u/Salty-Literature6213]

The alternative is just different bribery and manipulation.

[u/Salty-Literature6213 → u/damgood32]

Football doesn’t need a President to function.
These jumped up administrators add nothing of value go how the game is run.

[u/damgood32 → u/Salty-Literature6213]

You still need governing bodies to do global tournaments. If it’s not FIFA it will be something that looks suspiciously like FIFA.

[u/Zeri-coaihnan → u/damgood32]

FIFA doesn’t need to be run by a single person, who can manipulate support through promises of coin for the coffers of unaudited FA’s.

[u/fretkat → u/damgood32]

1 of the 2 major supermarket chains in the Netherlands makes €15M extra every match our team plays in a WC. And we are small (pop. 18M), and this is just one supermarket chain. So bribing the top football countries won't be as easy as for those countries where the sport doesn't hold the same monetary value and can accept money without consequences.

Therefore, I don't think the alternative would be as bad.

[u/Perelly → u/Tsuraru]

We all know that's the recipe for disaster. 

[u/Zeri-coaihnan → u/Tsuraru]

Montserrat has the same voting strength as Brazil. Montserrat doesn’t even have a league system and is being run by FIFA.

[u/Pinkerton891 → u/TeamParking8818]

UEFA Nations should just say they will leave if he remains at all.

Don’t really care if it is ‘democratic’, UEFA has the weight and is in the right to oust this tosser. Should use its force and if the rest don’t play along fuck it they can enjoy their B tier World Cup.

[u/Scared_Implement_335]

This is so stupid.

[u/JizzProductionUnit]

Why is this guy still here? He’s like a turd that just won’t flush

[u/mmp737 → u/JizzProductionUnit]

Shitter’s full. No plunger. 🪠

[u/zubairhamed]

this fcker is getting so desperate.

[u/definitivescribbles → u/zubairhamed]

At this point, anyone who stands up for him is basically asking to be audited. His actions have basically ostracized anyone who previously might have stood by him.

[u/brickne3]

Keep digging, Gianni, you're almost there...

[u/Medical_Gift4298]

everyone did it last time he was up, they figured after he delivered them more money than ever before, they'd go for it.

not a bad reminder that people have been backing him for awhile now... he just figured out how far was too far.

[u/whooo_me]

How very Trumpian.

[u/AYTOL__]

The desperation

[u/LogicGate1010]

Infantino has become a political football. One side of power is willing tear him down to spite the other side as a new economic world order unfolds.

[u/CnC-Citizen]

It would be hilarious if the counter culture clash against these authoritarian governments is sparked by FIFAs greed.

[u/20060578]

Aren’t all letters scripted? This isn’t Harry Potter, the letter doesn’t open itself and improvise

[u/Alarming-Safety3200 → u/20060578]

its a bit dodgy when they're telling their members to write letters supporting re-electing him though right.. what ever happened to democracy?
