In general, I support private institutions that choose to organiza sporting activity based on agreed rules even if they attempt to consolidate across national boundaries. However, I have also come to the view that when a decision that could be reached through a market mechanism is reached by an alternative means, then it is difficult to preclude biases and corruption. Soccer fans have come to the stark realization that FIFA's methods have not only exposed its delegates and officials to possibility of inducement to corruption but that it is almost certain that its leadership at the regional and international level is corrupt.
Revelations here and here put it beyond doubt that the conspiracy has been blown and the evidence that this institution overlooked corruption is undeniable. No doubt FIFA will buy high-powered public relations but that is looking at it the wrong way. This organization should take the simple mechanism of auctioning the rights to hosting events as a cleaner and more transparent method for assigning hosting rights for future World Cup tournaments.
