It was a journalist - Andrew Jennings, from the UK who spent so many years bringing down the corruption in Fifa - http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/may/28/fifa-expose-british-press-andrew-jennings-sunday-times-corruption-fa

And it was a comedian and his news show that helped - maybe a little, maybe a lot - John Oliver.  His first story on Fifa raised a lot of awareness on the issue and maybe got the USA to get a little more agreesive in pursuing it - who knows.  The US works a lot based on public opinion.  

These two forces and twitter helped change this corrupt organization for the better.

Filmmakers and journalists - we are all one of the same - storytellers.

And our duty is to help society, whether we want to or not - listen to Robert Deniro about that.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lN4v_JK_qbY

We all got into filmmaking to help change the world and now more than ever it's happening.

I'm proud to be part of this community.

Here's John Oliver's response to Bladder stepping down:
