Jack Warner cites article from the Onion as evidence of US bias
Evan BartlettJun 01, 2015 Former Fifa vice president Jack Warner appears to have fallen for a spoof article on the satirical website the Onion. In a video on his Facebook page, the Trinidadian used the article as evidence of Fifa's righteousness. Following charges of corruption announced against 14 people involved with Fifa, the satirical site posted an article claiming the governing body had frantically arranged for a World Cup to be held in the US this summer. The article even states: "At press time, the US national team was leading defending champions Germany in the World Cup’s opening match after being awarded 12 penalties in the game’s first three minutes." Nevertheless, Warner - who was arrested and then bailed last week - held up a printed copy of the article for his video (which has since been edited to remove any reference to the Onion) in which he spoke out about the charges against him and decried US media bias.
