My running joke is that soccer (futball for you purists) is the favorite sport of people who feel baseball is too exciting. I don’t hate soccer. I just don’t like it, care about it or watch it. You are welcome to disagree. Many do, and that’s great too. But the international governing body of soccer, Fédération Internationale de Football Association, or FIFA as its commonly, known, has long been seen as a shady, borderline corrupt, association.
