That Football Thing

Now that the fuss has died down a few words on that football thing. Both the Sunday Times expose and the Panorama programme were good bits of investigative journalism into an organisation that appears to grossly corrupt. So why all the hand-wringing about delaying the broadcast/publication? This would have just been playing along with Fifa and its unpleasant activities - and that would have been utterly shameful. If Fifa doesn't like its dirty linen to be washed in public then it would be better that they cleaned it up themselves. So England will not host the 2018 tournament - tough - at least we still have press and tv that has a semblance of freedom.
