Just came across the wire in the last 2 hours.
Sepp Blatter resigned as FIFA President today and stated a massive overhaul of FIFA was needed.
And I think I know exactly how the decision was made, based on other reports on the situation:
Reports are coming out that the FBI, in fact, IS investigating Blatter and that something appeared to be imminent.
Early word is that the favorite to succeed him is not the challenger in last Friday's farce election, but the head of UEFA, Michel Platini, who was about to organize a European World Cup boycott (which was probably the other probable outcome which could've felled Blatter, but honestly I do wonder if a "Blatter World Cup", as some soccer fans called it, would've gone forward in Russia anyway in 2018).
