Take a Guess why Jack Warner is Back in the Headlines

September 12th, 2006 | by: WC Bob |

It has been at least a few months since FIFA exec Jack Warner has been in the news for his perpetual crookedness, but you can’t keep a good crook down for too long. FIFA is investigating whether Warner illegally sold hundreds of World Cup tickets and pocketed a cool half a million pounds for himself.
