You can't really think of them as a sporting organization.
The sport is somehow immune from their fuckery.
So I was even seeing that Zoran Mamdani had that... He's just released that video.
The one about ticket prices?
No, was it the one just saying like...
FIFA, like, choose the game over greed.
And that was the first time with Mamdani, I'm thinking, who do you think you're talking to?
If I was FIFA... Choose the game over greed.
But Infantino, the head of FIFA, was just going to... I choose greed.
I've always chosen greed.
I've not... I've not chosen anything ever.
There's no moral compass that you can appeal to here.
Nothing points north in my soul.

The greatest cocaine.
