“The Swiss demon who’s ruined the sport I love…” – John Oliver on Sepp Blatter
During the last year's World Cup, John Oliver did a popular segment on Last Week Tonight where he went in-depth on FIFA's shady practices and corruption, calling the tournament organizer "comically grotesque."
In the wake of new corruption charges and the arrests of multiple FIFA officials, John Oliver once again went after the organization on his show Sunday night.
"It's not just the fact of the arrests that was spectacular, it was how they were carried out. Hotel sheets are very much like FIFA officials. They actually should be clean, but really they're unspeakably filthy and, deep down, everybody knows that."

"But maybe the most remarkable thing about all the charges is that they didn't touch Sepp Blatter, who's been president of FIFA for the last 17 years. On his watch, the World Cup has left a trail of devastation."
