Mayor of London hilariously revokes FIFA executives free stay during 2012 Olympics

A. Isaac Senior Editor

The chaps in London are none too happy about losing the World Cup bid. In a surprising twist last week, FIFA handed the reigns to the 2018 and 2022 World Cup to Russia and Qatar respectively. Both lack the infrastructure and specifications to host the event, nevertheless, London received only 2 of the 22 votes and was ousted from consideration. As a show of disapproval or just plain butthurt to the decision, London mayor Boris Johnson revoked a free stay for FIFA executives during the 2012 Olympics.

Boris Johnson has withdrawn the offer of a free stay in London’s exclusive Dorchester hotel for Fifa executives during the 2012 Olympics.

The Mayor of London had offered the free accommodation for Fifa president Sepp Blatter and his team.

But after Fifa’s decision on Thursday’s 2018 World Cup vote – which saw the England bid get just two votes out of a possible 22 – the offer was rescinded.

This story would have been a lot better if Boris Johnson would have said, “FIFA, you mess with the bull, you get the horns”. Some powerful taunting along with revoking the hotel stay would have made him much more of a bad ass. Instead, he’ll just be remembered as a wimpy weiner, who, on occasion, pervertedly stares at cheerleaders.
