Overt corruption. If you're going to be as corrupt as fuck, you gotta be smarter than simply milking the cow to death.
They were on the right track, the stars were lined up for Brazil, and then they went building $20 million stadiums (in fucking Manaus, for God's sake!!). Chose to host a World Cup instead of becoming a developed country,
fuckaddyfuckfuckfuck!
I'm so mad and disappointed just the mention of it has me in fits...
