Sepp Blatter Showered With Dollar Bills During A Meeting by Viktor1983(m): 10:28pm On Jul 20, 2015 |
A British comedian made it rain at a FIFA press conference on Monday, and Sepp Blatter was not impressed. Simon Brodkin, who goes by the stage name Lee Nelson, rushed to the front of the room and showered Blatter with dollar bills before promptly being removed from the room. Blatter stepped down as FIFA president in May amid a financial scandal that saw America and Swiss authorities launch criminal investigations into corruption in the organization. An executive committee set Feb. 26, 2016, as the date for elections to replace him. The press conference, held in Zurich, was then delayed as Blatter said the group would have to leave the room because "we have to clean here first." "This has nothing to do with football," he added. It's unclear whether the money was real or fake. Lee Nelson is known for his publicity stunts; last month, he tried to disrupt a Kanye West performance at the Glastonbury Festival in Britain. Blatter, 79, has headed up FIFA since 1998 and first joined the soccer organization 40 years ago. http://mashable.com/2015/07/20/fifa-sepp-blatter-money-shower/?utm_cid=hp-hh-sec 1 Share
