You know the story, but for the ones who missed it, here is the briefing from The Guardian: "Nine FIFA officials and four executives of sports management companies were arrested on suspicion of receiving bribes totaling $100 million, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. The officials are accused of taking in excess of $150 million in bribes stretching back 24 years. U.S. prosecutors said the officials conspired with sports marketing executives to 'shut out competitors and keep highly lucrative contracts for themselves through the systematic payment of bribes and kickbacks.' "Of course, the first question that comes to mind, as Russian President Vladimir Putin asked: Although this criminal organization has been active for 24 years, why have U.S. officials launched this operation now? The FIFA administration was always suspicious, since it has been ruled by two corrupt men, Joao Havelange and Sepp Blatter, for 41 years. Nevertheless, despite the all suspicion and protests against FIFA, they managed to dodge all the bullets and built an empire of corruption that has been forged by the most corrupt people in the world over many years.However, the question of why now is a different topic, and its answer will probably be revealed after the situation of the following World Cups become certain. The more important point is, regardless of its intention, this operation again reminded us that football is never just football. As Diego Maradona said, football can never go back to the way it was until international football gets rid of these "dinosaurs."Given the fact that almost five generations were raised in this system and cannot think of another way of football, most probably FIFA will dodge the bullets again. Remember, just two years ago, the oldest dinosaur Havelange was forced to resign from his honorary presidency for taking bribes, but no one questioned Blatter and other top FIFA executives for this. Thus, given no one talks about Blatter this time, again, it looks like we will only see some sacrifices for the greater good of FIFA.Nonetheless, international football cannot get rid of these shrewd businessmen in one operation or another. The only thing that these criminal operations do is to help FIFA share the prize with fewer men. The only sustainable solution is to change the financial status of world football drastically. We must minimize the spending and help the game grasp its true soul. As long as billions of dollars circulate in football there is no way to keep the game clean.On the other hand, as I mentioned earlier, criminal investigations cannot be selective. The U.S. and, more precisely, the West enjoyed the fruits of the neoliberal economic system in football and it looks like they did not want to interrupt it when things were acceptable for them. Thus, regardless of its nationality, corruption should be punished, and if Russia and Qatar are involved in it, the fate of the next two World Cups must be questioned. Nevertheless, if other parts of the corrupt system remain unquestioned, the whole point of this operation collapses. So, whenever U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron demands Blatter's resignation, I hope that he is aware of the suspicions of his 2018 World Cup campaign.In the final analysis, we cannot expect these giants to solve international football's problems by their own as it is illogical because of the benefits from present condition. Thus, like how developing and undeveloped countries protest the U.N.'s elitist paradigm, "the others" of football should do the same. Football is too precious to be left in the brutal hands of these businessmen.
