FIFA, Sepp Blatter ripped again by HBO's John Oliver
'Last Week Tonight' host goes for round 2
This week's scandal provided HBO's John Oliver with the perfect opportunity to rehash his criticism of FIFA and Sepp Blatter.
On Sunday's Last Week Tonight With John Oliver, the organization was dressed down yet again. Oliver went as far as making a personal plea to sponsors like McDonalds and Adidas, who he theorized could have the power to effect change if they withdraw their financial support.
Oliver is even willing to make the ultimate sacrifice by consuming a Budweiser product.
"If you get rid of the Swiss demon who has ruined the sport I love, this stuff will taste like champagne."
Given FIFA's turbulent week, most people agree with Oliver's assessment of the organization.

—@AnitaM86John Oliver didn't just eviscerate FIFA last night, he told us exactly how to get Blatter out. Dude is doing the Lord's work.
—@cch1125I think <a href="https://twitter.com/iamjohnoliver">@iamjohnoliver</a> should run for FIFA President.
—@OurEnglandHouseOliver first took up his gripe with FIFA in a similarly themed monologue nearly a year ago.
