And Putin is taking a page from the Clinton’s, suggesting this allegation is “sour grapes” for losing the 2018 & 2022 World Cup hosting.

Oh...and the Clintons...ya...they made money off of this scam also.

Yeah, but still,,,,, I played goalie in Prep School. I enjoyed playing it. But sitting in the stands watching it? Really boring. It’s almost as if soccer were a social thing, more than a sports thing.

Everybody’s got their taste. I don’t understand how anybody watches baseball, but there it is, America’s past time.

Yeah, I remember when the FIFA scandal almost collapsed the world economy.

Nike Joins Aspen Institute and Clinton Foundation to Reshape Youth Sports (1-14-2014)

NIKE, Inc. announced a Commitment to Action at the annual Clinton Health Matters Initiative Conference to provide critical resources and partnerships in the U.S. to help reshape the way kids take part in sports and play.

The commitment is aimed at providing America’s kids with early, positive experiences in sports and aligns with Designed to Move, the framework for action that Nike spearheaded with more than 70 expert organizations aimed at reversing the physical inactivity epidemic around the world.

President Clinton opened the conference by joining basketball great Kobe Bryant on stage to discuss some of the barriers to youth participation, which include the need for access to sports for kids of all ability levels and over-specialization in sports at too early of an age. . .
