            Inspiring kids means money into the pockets of future executives. Infantino has a palace in Qatar he needs to maintain. Do you have any idea what kind of maintenance costs that thing has? Feeding slaves ain’t cheap these days. He can’t risk it all on a gamble to inspire someone and make more money in the future. He needs a consistent safe paycheck, and he knows the Saudis pay handsomely and they pay in USD.

        Indias GDP is about twice that of South Korea. So while the population is a lot larger, the revenue potential isn’t. The hype would be crazy though.
