Region: GLOBAL
Target: FIFA
Background (Preamble):
Recently Jack Warner the Vice President of FIFA issued a statement containing
as key points:
"If the World Cup were to go to Europe, I'm quite sure, with the English luck as
it is, they won't get it," Warner told BBC World Service.
"There are moves to give it to England. I must fight that."
"Nobody in Europe likes England. England invented the sport but has never
made any impact on world football."
This has already caused a massive uproar on the BBC's 606 messanger boards
and all over England. It is percieved as racist, wholley inappropriate and a
disgrace to FIFA.
In 2006 he was involved in a scandal which even FIFA admitted violated their
code of ethics and no action was taken except to impose a fine totalling the
profits he made from the scandal. He has still only payed a quarter of this fine
despite constant reminders from FIFA and still no action has come.
