FIFA has eradicated corruption... by removing the term from their code of ethics

[GabrielWB 🧀]

Soccer officials and players who bother checking out the new code of ethics governing their conduct will find the word “corruption” missing. They also will discover how to avoid being banned for paying and receiving bribes.
Corruption was scrubbed as an official misdemeanor during secret meetings where executives executed the first overhaul of the code since a wave of scandals left soccer’s governing body “clinically dead” by 2015. That was the hyperbole used by Gianni Infantino during a speech at the World Cup in June boasting of his own apparent achievements cleaning up FIFA.

But section 12.1 of the new code states: “Bribery, misappropriation of funds and manipulation of football matches or competitions may no longer be prosecuted after a lapse of 10 years.”
The message to football officials not deterred from seeking to profit from bribery and fraud by the criminal cases: as long as the misdemeanour is not discovered for 10 years you will be in the clear at Fifa.

It will be even easier now for FIFA to banish critics.
A new offense has been introduced in the ethics code — defamation. There are no specific examples, providing flexibility for the ethics committee to decide on the burden of proof — as with all cases.
“Persons bound by this code are forbidden from making any public statements of a defamatory nature towards FIFA and/or towards any other person bound by this code in the context of FIFA events,” section 22.2 of the new code states.
Those found to have defamed FIFA will be banned from any football-related activities for up to two years and they can be booted out for five years for repeated “serious cases.”

To be fair a 'ticking clock' works great in the movies. I'm sure it'll incentivise some to look for a scandal asap to get the fuckers in time.

Everything about FIFA is a fucking joke.
