Yesterday, FIFA vice president and CONCACAF chief Jack Warner stepped down amidst a several months long corruption scandal into a $1 million bribery for Caribbean World Cup votes and potentially fixing the June 1st Presidential Elections.
In hopes of retaining his position as Minister of Transport and Works in his native Trinidad and Tobago, reports state that Warner followed Mohamed Bin Hammam of Qatar by voluntarily stepping down to quell speculations of corruption. Reports suggest that Warner's post in Trinidad is of great value and unethical business practices with FIFA could negatively affect his tenure. Just last week, Warner was influential in his decisions to replace a sewer lid and have a boulder removed from a section of busy gravel-topped road by a group of schoolchildren for a modest fee of a thousand dollars and the first-born children of anyone involved.
If you prescribe to the logic that FIFA is the most corrupt sporting entity in the world, Warner's voluntary removal also helps FIFA President Sepp Blatter's case, as two of the most senior and controversy riddled henchmen have stepped down before further investigations could take place to identify said examples of unethical practices.
