There have been many members of the FIFA committee accused of fraud and bribery. The former president of Honduras, Rafael Callejas, was one of the people accused of bribery along with 20 other people. December 14, 2015 Callejas came to the United States on his private jet, now that his VISA was revoked, and he made a court appearance and pleaded not guilty of the charges. All of this scandal with the FIFA officials is taking away the credibility of FIFA. As a soccer fan it is kind of sad to see how there can even be corruption in such a great sport. All of this makes people not really want to involve themselves with things having to do with the FIFA. At the same time of feeling sadness I feel like it was obvious that there was corruption in the FIFA since it is such a huge corporation and it has so many powerful people involved. Also as a fellow Honduran it does not really surprise me that Rafael Callejas was accused of the bribery, because I know all the corruption that occurs in Honduras.
