Always a treat when people get to see how corrupt world soccer is. American sports executives and owners are tiny little corruption babies compared to anyone working in soccer governance.
I just saw that FIFA is awarding a brand new peace prize that it will award at the World Cup draw on Dec. 5 in DC, and there's what, a 1% chance this award wasn't created to appease Trump by giving it to him first?

Watching the Gotham NYC City Hall ceremony and thought it was random that Jessica Tisch (NYPD Commissioner) was up on the stage and then Carolyn Tisch Blodgett (Gotham owner) gave her a huge hug when she came out. Turns out they're related!
