> Soccer is by far the most popular sport on the planet, the fact that it makes a lot less money than hockey is insane.

FIFA is (1) on paper, not there to make money, but (2) in reality, obscenely corrupt.

Worldwide, association football makes more than all other sports you referenced, combined.

I hope this is UEFA taking a principled stand, but maybe there's some weird scheme going on, let's see what happens next.
