As the figurehead of the team that won pretty much everything in 2015, it was always going to take something special to eclipse Lionel Messi. You may disagree, but I say step forward, Loretta Lynch. Decades of newspaper exposes shook FIFA but never toppled it. Internal investigations drew predictably benign conclusions and kept the details of their findings to themselves. But FIFA had no answer to the U.S. attorney general.
“They were expected to uphold the rules that keep soccer honest,” she said as she threw down scores of criminal charges. “Instead they corrupted the business of worldwide soccer to serve their interests and enrich themselves.” Boom. Beat that, Messi.
