Here's the Joke that Cost FIFA PR Chief His Job

FIFA is truly amazing and the headlines read more like fiction (or The Onion) on a daily basis. The latest ridiculous headline centers around FIFA’s director of communications and public affairs, Walter De Gregorio, who resigned suddenly on Thursday.

The reason? The consensus seems to be because he told a joke about Sepp Blatter on Swiss Television earlier this week, per the esteemed Bob Ley:

This is TRUE: Joke which may have cost FIFA PR chief his job: "Sepp Blatter, Valcke and I are all in a car. Who is driving? The police."

Here’s a link to the joke, which is in German.
