Jack Warner responds to FIFA ban for life with laughable Facebook post

Oh Jack, you old so-and-so.

Former CONCACAF president, FIFA vice president and Trinidadian minister and member of Parliament Jack Warner has hit back at FIFA with his trademark brazenness after it was announced that he was suspended from soccer for life on Tuesday.

Warner, who is currently fighting extradition to the United States after being charged in the Department of Justice's sweeping indictment of CONCACAF and FIFA affairs, posted a Facebook message in his typically dismissive and deceiving tone.

Let's unpack that.

First of all, Warner, who has an absurdly long corruption rap sheet, didn't leave FIFA in April 2011. He was provisionally suspended by FIFA in May 2011, after it transpired that he had helped Mohammed Bin Hammam bribe CONCACAF's member federation heads in his bid to become FIFA president. He announced his resignation from all of his soccer positions that June.

Secondly, most people were surprised that Warner wasn't suspended for life already.

Thirdly, the suspension is hardly a distraction. Nor – fourthly – does it make sense to somehow pawn this off on Blatter. Warner was finally suspended for life because of allegations leveled at Blatter by the Swiss Attorney General that the FIFA president had awarded World Cup rights to Warner below their market value. This case, in other words, concerns them both and isn't some kind of decoy.

Certainly, it's strange for Warner to be punished while Blatter has so far escaped discipline and told staff he'll remain in his position until his voluntary resignation in February. But none of that makes Warner's latest riposte to the soccer world any less laughable or misguided.

Prior to this, Warner had last heard of when he got into a hilarious war of words with HBO's "comedian fool" John Oliver.

You do you, Jack.
