It has legs. Maybe no in America, but this is massive. 2 countries filing dozens of charges against midlevel dogs (who are expected to rat out higher level dogs) in the post profitable sports league on the planet. Not to mention all the ancillary groups this is going to bring in, including the Clinton Foundation. This thing is going to take years to unwind and the very way sports business is done is likely to change. And FIFA could actually just cease to exist.
Could other sports be caught up in this?
You are correct about this being massive. 1/3 of the BBC and Sky News broadcasts today are nothing but FIFA.
