It’s a U.S. priority because they used the U.S. financial system to facilitate their illegal actions. Just because it’s not the “hot topic” of the day doesn’t mean we should let it slide.

Pathetic is right.

actually reading around the web, it is a good diplomatic move. Most people hate FIFA, oh they love soccer, but they HATE FIFA. It’s pretty much a known thing that FIFA is corrupt to it’s core, but no soccer (football for all you free republic ex pats) loving nation will do anything for fear FIFA will punish them by stacking the deck against their team. USA doesn’t care. I have seen a lot of foreign twitter accounts and foreign media actually praising the US for this.
