IRS official should be 'red carded' for this terrible 'red card' FIFA zing

redcard

The U.S. Government sent a shock wave through the sports world on Wednesday when it promptly indicted 14 FIFA officials — including two vice presidents — on charges of corruption and money laundering, among other things. Considering how long-standing FIFA’s corruption problem is, everyone was understandably impressed.

But one thing that wasn’t so impressive? This attempted zing from the IRS’s criminal investigation division head Richard Weber:

“This is the World Cup of fraud, and today we are issuing FIFA a red card.”

Nice job on the whole pursuing justice thing, but it’s time to up your zing game.
