Sepp Blatter is, of course, the disgraced head of FIFA who is still running the organization that has reportedly run rampant with corruption.
Needless to say, the world-renowned 2018 World Cup will continue as planned in Russia; much to the pleasure of infamous dictator President of Russia, Vladimir Putin.
Comedian John Oliver hilariously summed up the meeting between the two men best during the first :30 seconds of the clip below.

Obviously those guys aren’t the most democratic men in the world, and their reputation definitely precedes them as being some of the most ruthlessly dominant politicians today.
Putin, however, feels people such as Sepp Blatter are deserving of even more praise and wealth. The Russian President is of the opinion that this man should receive the Nobel Prize for his efforts in FIFA.
“We all know the situation developing around Mr. Blatter right now. I don’t want to go into details but I don’t believe a word about him being involved in corruption personally,” said Putin, referring to thesweeping corruption scandal engulfing FIFA.
“I think people like Mr. Blatter or the heads of big international sporting federations, or the Olympic Games, deserve special recognition. If there is anyone who deserves the Nobel Prize, it’s those people.”
The saddest part about it is the fact that Putin, much like Sepp Blatter, doesn’t appear to be going anywhere.
