FIFA Press Conference Disrupted by Comedian's Protest
Blatter's Presser Halted by "Pitch Invader"
Comedian Interrupts FIFA Reform Task Force Announcement
ZURICH (CBSNewYork/AP) -- Sepp Blatter's news conference at FIFA was disrupted and delayed Monday by a "pitch invader." The comedian, identified as Simon Brodkin, interrupted Blatter's press conference, which was addressing a new FIFA reform task force.
Brodkin, who is known for his comedic stunts, approached Blatter and attempted to place a wad of cash on his head. Blatter, who has been embroiled in numerous corruption scandals, pushed Brodkin away and security escorted him from the room.
The incident, which lasted for several minutes, delayed the press conference and drew attention to the ongoing issues with corruption within FIFA. Blatter, who has been FIFA president since 1998, has been criticized for his handling of the corruption scandals, and Brodkin's protest was seen as a symbolic gesture against Blatter and the organization.
