Is there anything comedian John Oliver cannot dissect and ridicule? After the hugely popular rant on Indian news channels, here comes another epic rant!
With the World Cup just around the corner, Oliver is one of the millions of fans who are excited about the month long extravaganza in Brazil. But on his show ‘Last Week Tonight’, Oliver went after the what is widely regarded as one of the world’s most corrupt governing bodies – FIFA!
Oliver delves into the finer details of how FIFA gets away with everything from extortion to bribery and even murder. He leaves no stone unturned as he rips into FIFA whether it is their billion dollar reserves (a non-profit organization with a billion dollars?) or the fact that they accepted bribes to award the 2022 World Cup to Qatar where temperatures touch 50 degrees Celsius and labourers die every day in what is a modern day slave nation!
And at the same time, he mixes these serious issues with a number of jokes and even goes after FIFA president Sepp Blatter and secretary general Jerome Valcke.
