From Kicks To Kickbacks Poem by Aniruddha Pathak
From Kicks To Kickbacks
Referee ah getting a red card!
A warning to play fair, be on guard,
If football's life and death,
They need to restore faith,
From kicks to kickbacks, what a standard!

Seven FIFA officials are arrested by Swiss authorities in Zurich, in a scandal in football history. More than $151 million in bribes and kickbacks are being investigated and 14 top football officials and promoters have been charged by US Justice Department. If it is only a tip of the iceberg, imagine what is not visible. Perhaps a red card was needed like never before because the system gave no yellow card.
