Anybody read this?
I'm about 1/3 of the way through. Nothing new, really--big money involved in tv contracts and bids to host events, like the World Cup, and this is just some more exposure of the nonsense that goes on between people who have money and people who have money but want more.
Great early ratings/reviews at Amazonk, but I'm thinking about bailing on the concluding pages as I don't know any of the people involved, my disdain for soccer is palpable, and this kind of corruption transcends predictability.
The author frequently uses the phrase 'red flag' as an indication of what might or might not, or should or should not, alert authorities to alleged corruption. I think that the notion of a 'red flag' is quite interesting and has my mind reeling further; one person's red flag could be another's inconsequentiality (fuck the spellchecker) and who hasn't experienced the red flag experience that turned out to be a case of ass-u&me, if yaknowhatimean. In the end, I guess paranoia is a necessary sin.
Lots of confessions and arrests, so the story is absolutely true. I'm just not sure if its so groundbreaking, barring for any big soccer (or sports, or corruption) fans.
Useless assessment, but maybe someone else will convince me to finish what I started, for a change.
Barring that, I'm gonna get wasted. Either way, actually.
