Sepp Blatter for POTUS?

As someone who grew up in England — and who routinely annoys my friends
with my fanatical love of soccer, I have been asked by a few people if I
had a response to Matt Miller’s post comparing the GOP Presidential
candidates to the English Premier League

So here it is:

The best soccer comparison for the Democratic Primary is FIFA and it’s
leader, Sepp Blatter.

The lead candidate has been a part of the establishment for so long and is
so out of touch that they now feel they are completely above the law and
live by their own rules.

What’s worse, everyone else in their organization blindly follows them
because the leader has cut off any dissent from competitors and controls
the nominating and election process.

The head of FIFA, following the old European model of succession, recently
ran unopposed and was coronated in a sham debate and nominating process.

But soon after he won the entire soccer world was turned upside because the
department of justice opened an investigation into their corrupt practices.

There is a sense among FIFA officials that the walls are closing in and
they are watching a slow train wreck that will ultimately lead to multiple
indictments. Can Joe Biden save FIFA?

Regardless of which “EPL team” the Republican party ultimately nominates,
we feel very confident we will generate more supporters in the cup final
than the terribly corrupt institution that more and more fans dislike every
day.
