First Round of voting
there will be a 2nd round of voting...neither party has majority.
206 were valid of the 209
Sepp Blatter got 133 and needed 140 to win
Prince Ali got 73 votes
(How the hell do 3 of the votes end up being determined "invalid"?)
Prince Ali just withdrew
Blatter re-elected
lol how do you re-elect Splatter with all the controversy going on?
Shows how corrupt it truly is.

And it's kind of the same with FIFA.
There's 209 counties who each carry one equal vote with the large majority of them being small/poor countries. So he promises those peasants pots of gold which comes from the billions of dollars worth of sponsorship they rake in.
That's why he's binked his 5th election.
The only way he'll leave, is if the FBI charge him with a crime or the sponsors call for his head.
It's one vote per nation. So a country like Montserrat (population 5,000) has the same voting power as Germany. That's a system that begs to be corrupted.Quote:

Source tells ABC News that Blatter was indeed subject of FBI investigation.

Scala says there will now be "integrity" checks on its top people - and it will at last publish how much its president is paid! #FIFA
Apparently ESPN and Blatter have been aware of an FBI investigation into FIFA for some time. 3 weeks ago they aired an E:60 piece on him. Among other things, it said that Blatter was afraid to visit the US over it.

Hopefully Qatar loses it's World Cup since they got to move this shit to the end of the year since them fucks aren't going to have all air conditioned stadiums like they said in the first place and nobody wanting to go there anyways.
Or the fact that 1000's of workers have been killed building the stadium. I heard the workers are pretty much slaves.
Comedian showers Sepp Blatter with fake cash at a press conference today.
