In a week of incendiary statements, this from Kevin Lamour, who at least for tonight remains FIFA COO, is incredibly damning in that it is from an insider that goes beyond this one scheme and is an assassination in a few hundred words of the FIFA president as a leader of global football.

2015: A stereotypical hupster dressed in Buddy Holly glasses, moustache, beanie and plaid shirt encounters an older man who says "you lazy Millennials don't wanna work. The man leans in close to the Millennial and says "all you wanna do is avocado toast." The Millennial thinks to himself "I swear to God, when I'm in my thirties, I'm gonna be more charitable to Young People.

2025: The Millennial now in his thirties says "yeah, every zoomer I've ever met is a braindead piece of shit." A woman in an Animal Collective T-shirt nods in agreement.

Periodic reminder most politicians -- especially on the right -- don't really thank you for your service. They thank you to shut your mouth and look like you love it when they treat you like crap because they think you're a chump for serving.

So Concacaf sides with Uefa. FIFA's financial power grab is done. What's funny is Infantino would probably have just about got away with this if it wasn't for the Balogun thing. As i said at the time, that scared the absolute shit out of the European FAs. So they instantly closed ranks on this.
