Fifa

The other day I was wondering "where does the saying 'don't look a gift horse in the mouth' comes from." I asked some friends and they gave me an accurate answer.

This is not a criticism of the games played, in any way. I enjoyed watching the games, but I don't really care who wins (despite the shit talking, seriously it just makes it more fun).

I've now seen a few reports, including one on The Daily Show, about how the world cup is not really helping South Africa. Apparently Fifa has restricted where the local venders can sell -along with other inconveniences.

This criticism is just asinine. Fifa is not a charity. Fifa spent millions on and in South Africa, so of course they want the best spot to sell their products. And South Africa bid on the world cup. Do they know what it means to "bid?" South Africa said "we have or will make the facilities to host the world cup."
