Argentine judge Marcelo Martínez de Giorgi has approved the arrest of three Argentine business leaders named in a corruption scandal engulfing world football and facing US extradition requests, though he acknowledged he did not know if they were in the country. The businessmen were considered fugitives from justice on Thursday after Interpol was unable to locate them at their residences. Read full article

    The rotting roadkillians will persecute whatever soccer related entities and individuals the prosecution of which serves their larger political interests to have weakened or destroyed for this is in essence the rotting roadkillian path to success. Fairplay and equal footing have nothing to do with the settlement of such matters by rotting roadkillians.

    Many lessor countries feel that the soccer arrests are a cultural attack on their nations. Soccer is a fairly egalitarian pursuit. The equipment required is modest and participants have to be neither large or particularly strong or even the fastest as is necessary in basketball, football and field/ track for instance. It is inherently a team sport and personal/independent acheivement may even be counterproductive to success of the group. Many people find soccer inherently boring particularly without a personal or nationalistic connection to the enterprise but it continues to be a pretext for the lower incomed socio-economic groups to bond and act out collective frustations due in large part to their own station in life. Most soccer fans don't begrudge the odd promoter or coach or player a little graft or Peruvian marching dust because this is not uncommon in their own political ruling class. If it is appropriate for one group who are they to deny the other? And perhaps one day - if the stars align and they play the game (be it political or soccer) just right - they too will be able to partake of the bountiful fruit that is borne of corruption.

    As early as 2014, Argentina officials asked FIFA to inform about money transactions of soccer clubs to avoid tax evasion.
    In April 2015, a new request was sent to FIFA president Joseph Blatter
    Según explica la carta que la AFIP envió en abril de 2015 al recién reelecto presidente de la FIFA, Joseph Blatter, ese dinero se evade al fisco mediante “los paraísos fiscales deportivos”, es decir, la utilización de los clubes y otros asking to put a stop to the use of clubs as fiscal paradises by opening their financial transactions to scrutiny.
    Blatter promise action but did none.

    This long, incoherent rambling about how “boring” soccer fails to explain why so much money flows into the sport, which coincidentally is the issue at stake with the FIFA.

    The 3 Argentines on the run at present have obviously nothing to hide and were the first to ask FIFA for information about monies being disbursed here and there weren't they? You are having a laugh aren't you?

    @6. Most of South America and all of latam is an aberration. Genetic and ethical. But we have a solution. Guess! Have you noticed how no-one needs you?
    @10. No, he is a laugh.

    “ . . . fails to explain why so much money flows into the sport, . . . ”

    The answer?

    It's not obvious to you?

    I'll try to simplify then.

    It is the lowest common denominator phenomenon.

    Why is fast food more popular than haute cuisine?

    The masses have an unsophisticated palate. Savy?

    The Association of Fútbol Argentino voted against the Joseph Blatter's re-election and no amount of BS can change that fact.

    In regards to the three Argentines that are being sought by police, the facts so far have left the prophets of doom starving. None of them has been linked to CFK, to the Argentine government, or Máximo Kirchner for that matter.
    Alejandro Burzaco, Hugo y Mariano Jinkis would instead show links to opposition presidential candidate Mauricio Macri and companies linked to the Group Clarín.
    I can feel your pain--again.

    CLARIFICATION
    For the last 10 days or so, a poster under the screen name Chronic has been repeatedly posting an excerpt of a post of mine—out of context.
    After waiting some time, I decided to reproduce the conversation from which the misleading statement was extracted:

  • ARGIES PAY YOUR DEBT

    Who are the Argies? They're 3rd world bloodsuckers with “airs”. That chithole was invaded by the worst of the worst from Italy, Germany running away (WWII), and Jews. For some reason they consider themselves Europeans but go outside Buenos Aires and see the rest of that country & their poor indigenous people, yet they keep procreating. The Argies have been unable to control the breakouts of AIDS, dengue & TB. The best thing the US gov't did was to ban all imports of that filthy Argie beef from diseased, obese animals and the world should follow suit. Avoid eating that “dulce de leche” made by the Argies, this is a spread invented by the Spaniard centuries ago made with cow's milk ~ very dangerous if it comes from the Argies. READ THE LABELS!!! If you ever get involved in a traffic accident & the other driver or “victim” is an Argie CALL THE POLICE!!! Do not fall for the Argie well known practice all over the world to fabricate accidents, play the victims & ask for cash on the spot. There millions illegal Argies in the US & Europe + they keep invading their surrounding countries esp. Chile. Brazil is a Marxist country, they're no better either. Luckily the CIA will straighten them out.
