Useless FIFA Lawsuit of the Week

October 11th, 2006 | by: WC Bob |

One of the first posts I ever made on this site was way back in December and it was about FIFA being upset with a German man who was auctioning off the lots used as part of the World Cup draw. Well, guess what? The world’s football organizing body hasn’t forgotten about this and they want their lots back.

FIFA applied to a German court for the return of the 32 lots today. Never mind the fact that the guy who auctioned them off found them in a garbage can after cleaning up the draw celebration. Never mind that the World Cup is friggin’ over. FIFA wants its toys backs and its lawyers are hell bent on getting them.

Hopefully they will forget about a certain little lawsuit threat that was also made a few months ago.

Wow, that’s so ridiculous and pathetic, it’s almost funny again.

I guess Germany doesn’t have the same law as we do here in California. If you throw it in the trash it’s anybodies crap to take.
Maybe if the German had given Sepp a percentage of the auction he wouldn’t have gotten suit. FIFA are a bunch of corrupt low lifes just like the Olympic Committee. These people come to the trough of corruption like a bunch of pigs to their swill.

well said Claude.
