Former Fifa president Sepp Blatter on Monday suggested he supports fans boycotting World Cup matches in the United States this year due to security concerns.
Blatter gave his support to comments from Swiss anti-corruption lawyer Mark Pieth, who worked with Fifa on potential reforms when Blatter was president, saying fans should stay away from the US for the tournament.
“I think Mark Pieth is right to question this World Cup,” Blatter said on social media.
Pieth cited the killing of protester Renee Good by an American immigration agent in Minneapolis earlier this month as one reason for supporters not to travel to the US. Blatter’s endorsement of Pieth’s comments comes in the wake of the death of a second US citizen, Alex Pretti, last weekend.

Yeah. I don’t see how ICE is going to be able to maintain its quota without royally fucking over World Cup guests.
Sepp Blatter should propose that the United States be eliminated as host of the World Cup. And everyone should support him, including Americans, because dirty Latinos, Africans, and Europeans are flooding their cities with un-American patriotism. Blasphemy.
I had a sepp blatter once, but I got some antibiotics which sorted it out.
I thought it said step brother at first and thought i was on the wrong tab.
Sepp of all people, when he’s saying this you know things are much much worse.
his cheque must have bounced
It was a simple misunderstanding. Don and Sepp were negotiating when they agreed on a cheque for tens of millions. Being narcicissists, they both thought they would be the recipients and the other would pay.
I mean…he’s not wrong.
if this guy was still in charge, he’d probably encourage more people to travel to the games because “seats might become available suddenly”
If they made real money from tickets I’d be inclined to agree. But I think it’s all sponsorships, media deals and government bribes that actually fund FIFA.
don’t forget back room deals!
……but wasn’t the POSTUS awarded the much coveted FIFA world peace prize?!
POSTUS?
Paedo Of Small-kiddies The United States?Piece Of Shit Terrorizing the United States

Was he named by a German guy trying to say Step Ladder?
It’s a normal Swiss name, but he’s yet another stain on the country.
