An Up and Coming Soccer Fan's Reaction to Blatter's Resignation

As I've come to find of myself, I love soccer. I also am interested in the actions of the governing bodies of different sports. Last week, I became much more knowledgeable in the recent history & actions of FIFA. I learned that Blatter is essentially the head of Athletic Spectre. I became astounded that such corruption and ignorance could plague such a powerful and 'celebrated' organization, and still maintain a chokehold on the world. 

But with Sepp Blatter resigning ("Why now?", states former USA goalkeeper Kasey Keller), a door was opened that was thought would never be approached. Such an important organization requires transparency and the ability to be trusted, which is what FIFA lost after announcing the 2018 & 2022 World Cups, and especially after the 2014 World Cup (and this, http://youtu.be/DlJEt2KU33I). Soccer is too important on our earth to be clouded by a corporate political force that in fact valued money over the sport. Soccer is the sport with the most strings attatched to people's hearts. 

While I've vocally opposed Blatter on social media, Sepp's resignation proves to me that he loves soccer more than money, at least enough that he recognizes that resigning from one of the most powerful jobs in the world was worth it to him. It could've been because he was approached by the major sponsors of FIFA, peer pressure, or pure wisdom. Whatever it is that caused his resignation an hour ago, Mr. Blatter has bought a level of respect from me. This is a great step in the process of making the world of sport more healthy & prestigious. Let's go FIFA, let's go FIFA!!
