Fookin 'ellI know that certain countries, such as this one here (the UK), are desperate for the £3-billion windfall that the World Cup of football will bring to the host country.
They’re even upset that FIFA corruption has been found out. No time for morals, right? This is football.
How about if you knew that
FIFA doesn’t pay tax because
the UK government has made an illegal deal with them?
It’s illegal for companies not to pay tax, in the UK.
The government broke its own laws,
and we’re all paying for it.
This is David Cameron’s big society, as the Guardian sports columnist asked? Thanks but no thanks is our answer.How about if you knew that

Do you know why they’re giving out both the 2018 and 2022 games today? To get double the bribe money, and because they realise that a legal case against them is coming in the near future, so they’re set to take the money and run. It’s just like politics.
I really accept the corruption story as necessary because
I don’t care about football.
But, I also say the same for formula 1,
which I do like, even though it’s the most boring racing around.
It’s a British fiefdom,
that’s made a used-car salesman into a billionnaire.
The money also affects the game, which is,
nevertheless, a billionaire’s game

with millionaire drivers. The whole thing is sick, so I don’t pay the £300 to watch a race. The BBC, which gets its funding from old grannies and poor workers alike, should not be paying £15 million for the rights to show Formula 1,
even if that means that F1 tv will go to pay tv,
and I don’t get to watch it, ‘cuz I don’t pay.
I just don’t like my sport sprinkled with corruption.
So, it’s all a business. All of it. They don’t need my money. How can you get excited by a business where you, as a fan, always lose? You buy a jersey, the rich get richer. You buy season tickets, the rich get richer.even if that means that F1 tv will go to pay tv,
and I don’t get to watch it, ‘cuz I don’t pay.
I just don’t like my sport sprinkled with corruption.
I’m a hockey fan, and I had a favourite team, and a home team, but I gave it all up,
as an underemployed adult,
because the millionaire thing started to gnaw at my liver.
I like watching my country play any sport, but I realise that money affects players because the millionaires don’t care enough about their country to risk breaking a limb, because it might end their professional careers. This means that all sport is now bullsh*t. The Olympics has corruption and more lazy athletes, and drug-taking for those who are not lazy, but seeking the big payday.because the millionaire thing started to gnaw at my liver.
It’s all bullsh*t. I take some pleasure from the spectacle, as I shut my brain off temporarily, from time to time. But the more I pay, the more it makes me sick.
