POTUS sounds off on FIFA moving forward
While President Barack Obama said he would not comment on corruption charges brought against FIFA officials by U.S. authorities, he said he has spoken about the scandal with others attending the G7 summit in Germany.
He did however, mention it is of importance for such a popular sport to be conducted in an upright manner.
