Sepp Blatter and the Failed US World Cup Bid

The Adventures of Curtis and Leroy

A little while ago, Sepp Blatter, the President of FIFA , stopped at a ranch near Dallas,  Texas (one of the proposed host cities for the 2022 World Cup) and talked with Curtis and Leroy, the owners of the ranch.

He told Curtis and Leroy, “I need to inspect your ranch to see if this area is suitable for hosting the World Cup.”

Curtis said, “Okay, but do not go in that field over there,” as he pointed out the location.

Blatter looked at Curtis and Leroy and thought, ” These Hillbilly Americans think they can tell me what to do?”

Then Blatter verbally exploded saying, ” Mister, I have the authority of FIFA with me.”

Reaching into his rear pants pocket, he removed his badge and proudly displayed it to Curtis and Leroy.

“See this badge? This badge means I am allowed to go wherever I wish….. On any land, in any country. No questions asked or answers given.

I am not accountable to anybody. Have I made myself clear? Do you understand? ”

Curtis and Leroy nodded politely, apologized, and went about their chores.

A short time later, Curtis heard loud screams and saw Sepp Blatter running for his life chased by their big Santa Gertrudis bull.

With every step the bull gained ground on Blatter, and it seemed likely that he’ll get gored before he reached safety. Blatter was clearly terrified. (He actually emptied his bladder!)

Curtis threw down his tools, ran to the fence and yelled at the top of his lungs…..

“SHOW HIM YOUR BADGE, SHOW HIM YOUR BADGE!!!”

Take that FIFA!
