Sepp Blatter Says FIFA Officials Should Pass Integrity Checks

Wait, what was that, Sepp Blatter?

FIFA, football's governing body, has been embroiled in a massive controversy over the past month, so much so that Sepp Blatter announced that he'd eventually resign just four days after being re-elected.

Now Blatter is calling for new FIFA officials to have to pass integrity checks. OK, Sepp.

A simple Google search will show that Blatter's name isn't typically associated with the term "integrity."

In FIFA's weekly magazine (h/t Associated Press), Blatter penned a call for greater checks and balances on those who enter football's governing body.
