Former FIFA vice president Jack Warner, who is on bail on bribery
charges, wasn’t laughing as he cited a work of satire published in the
Onion on Sunday.

The mocking suggestion of the article is that FIFA would be willing to
organize a “summer World Cup” simply to appease U.S. authorities.
However, the satirical point was lost on Warner. He asks why the U.S.
would be willing to host such an event “if FIFA is so bad.”
