FIFA’s Director of Communications had to step down because he told a pretty funny joke

I mean... It’s really not bad.

Walter De Gregorio, FIFA's Director of Communications, stepped down this week after a joke he made about FIFA's recent scandals was televised in Switzerland. The joke?

The Fifa president, Sepp Blatter, the director of communications and the general secretary are all sitting in a car – who is driving? The police.

Honestly... Not a bad joke.

Prior to the Swiss interview, De Gregorio had said, “This for Fifa is good. It is not good in terms of image or reputation but in terms of cleaning up, this is good … It is not a nice day but it is also a good day. The process goes on and we are looking forward.”

De Gregorio will continue working with FIFA through the end of the year.
