FIFA official quits after making awesome joke on Swiss TV

fifa

Hours after U.S. authorities arrested nine current and former FIFA officials on corruption charges in a dramatic early morning raid, communications director Walter De Gregorio was the guy who faced the media on FIFA’s behalf at a hastily arranged press conference.

Two weeks later, De Gregorio is leaving FIFA. His resignation comes two days after he went on the Swiss TV show Schawinski and made a great joke at the expense of his now-former bosses.
