As a follow-up of sorts concerning yesterday's analysis of the corruption allegations surrounding FIFA, the many vying for both the title of the World's Most Fraudulent Award and the FIFA Presidential Nomination, (two things that ARE mutually inclusive) Mohamed Bin Hammam of Qatar has removed himself from the running for FIFA's top gig.
One day, the Ethics Committee, assuming they are not themselves corrupt, will release findings that should suggest that Qatar receiving the World Cup was a work of Black Magic, but in the meantime, let's reflect on this thoughtful quote from Bin Hammam.
"I cannot allow the name that I loved to be dragged more and more in the mud because of competition between two individuals. The game itself and the people who love it around the world must come first. It is for this reason that I announce my withdrawal from the presidential election."
