Blatter wasn't sole responsible, more have to follow. Transparency and voting reform, then we move on and bring back ethics. #FIFA

Blatter to Swiss TV on Friday: "Why would I step down? That would mean I recognise that I did wrong."

I just finished writing 1,600 words that no one will ever read explaining why Sepp Blatter will never resign.

Sepp Blatter knew. And he finally realised that we knew he knew. And that the Feds knew.

Sepp Blatter has fallen on his sword; a solid gold, diamond-encrusted sword that was a gift from the Qatari government.

What kind of garbage is coming out for #blatter to step down as just elected president of FIFA?????

- Ruud Gullit (@GullitR) June 2, 2015

Time for radical reform. Chance to expose & hold those accountable for any wrongdoing. I'd start by looking at who voted for Blatter. #FIFA

Thank you America & @FBI. #BlatterOut

- Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) June 2, 2015

Blatter steps down- good thing- the only way to clean up FIFA was with him doing that. A good start.Good luck, hope Platini gets it:)

- Martina Navratilova (@Martina) June 2, 2015

What's next for Blatter? 1. Onion sports reporter 2. International tax attorney 3. Chief Accountant of Qatar 4. President, Mordor, Inc.

- Sarah Lyall (@sarahlyall) June 2, 2015

Sepp Blatter looks like one of those college coaches running before the NCAA gets them. Only, in this case, the authorities will follow.

- Mike Greenberg (@Espngreeny) June 2, 2015

Sure, I saw the press conference, but I'll wait until The Onion reports on Blatter's resignation before I truly believe it.

Next step for Sepp Blatter: faking his own death, resurfacing as a humble onion seller in a non-extradition country
