If you don't know Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, it's an HBO show about a comedy news anchor, John Oliver, who eviscerates FIFA each week in order to go viral on the Internet.

Just kidding -- kind of. Oliver covers a range of news territory on his weekly show, but global soccer's disgraced governing body has certainly become a favorite whipping boy.

There's this classic example, and then this one too and also this one.

Above, from this past Sunday, is Oliver's most recent send-up of FIFA -- or as he calls it, "an international crime syndicate that occasionally organizes soccer matches." The segment focuses on how even FIFA's cynical corporate sponsors have given their partnerships a second thought.

After an indicted former FIFA official posted $10 million bond in the most DGAF way possible last week, sponsors including Visa spoke up to say the organization needs to take true reform more seriously.

Now here's Oliver to frame things as only he can. Watch his full two-and-a-half minute clip atop this post.
