Loretta Lynch, FIFA Slayer

Did you happen to catch Attorney General, Loretta Lynch, on The Late Show With Steven Colbert? On some rainy day, when lazily lounging around with time to spare, I recommend watching - if only to observe someone who passionately believes in justice. She calls herself, The FIFA Slayer. Hearing her talk about justice, however, was inspiring and filled me with hope, especially in terms of Law Enforcement relationships with Americans.

She also discussed iDevice Privacy, and said the Justice Department is asking the powers that be to disable the password erase function. This is the function that erases all data from an iDevice when the password gets entered incorrectly on the tenth try. It is there to protect our privacy, but in the case of National Security, she believes there should be a loophole in the policy. She was referring to the terrorists from the San Bernardino crisis.

A member of the Obama Administration cabinet, she seeks to maintain the Justice Department's integrity - her motivation: to keep the American people safe, while restoring our faith in the justice system. With eloquence and poise, she spiked my curiousity.  Not knowing much about FIFA, I decided to do a little research about the organization and Her role in its slaying. What I discovered was fascinating and I found myself searching for more than just the Wikipedia article, ending a day later by viewing a watch later video I had discovered on YouTube titled, Last Week Tonight With John Oliver (which I also highly recommend). 

I have relatives, who I like to believe are quite brilliant. Because they are avid soccer fans (they call it football), their family unit takes an annual trip to wherever the World Cup is held. I still have a little bit of paper money and a postcard from their trip to Buenos Aires. They came home with their knowledge of Spanish stronger than ever, which I envied. But I have to ask... How can they love a sport that is so corrupt. Or should I say, was?
