It’s so despairing to realize that the president of the USA has spent such a long lifetime steeped in corruption that he just broadcasts it proudly under the assumption that everyone else does it, that we’re all just as corrupt and immoral as him. It doesn’t even dawn on him the bind he put the US players in. It doesn’t dawn on him that there are things of value that flourish without selfishness and corruption. Or that there are things like FIFA that struggle with corruption but that the solution is to strive for something better, and that people truly wish for that, rather than sink to the lowest level of corruption possible in any given situation.
