Bill Clinton helped everybody realize FIFA is corrupt as heck

James Dator
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

Corrupt FIFA officials can hide on exotic islands behind the soaring gates of private residences, but there’s no hiding from one man -- Bill Clinton. That’s right, the former President of the United States was one of the driving forces behind the current investigation, according to the Washington Post.

Even before Clinton and Holder had left Switzerland, there “was a lot of talk that the decision had been bought,” said a person with knowledge of the private conversations among U.S. officials in Switzerland.

Concern about deep corruption in FIFA has now become a U.S. criminal case that could have major implications for the international soccer organization and the way the World Cup is awarded.

Don’t you be trying that kind of corrupt stuff around Bill. He will find you and crack this case wide open.
