A British comedian disrupted a news conference by Sepp Blatter on Monday morning when he threw a handful of what appeared to be fake money bills over the FIFA president.
Simon Brodkin, also known as his alter ego Lee Nelson, had no trouble approaching Blatter, who was holding his first news conference since announcing June 2 his plans to step down.
“This is for North Korea 2026,” Brodkin deadpanned as he placed a stack of money in front of Blatter. “Thank you very much. As a North Korean football ambassador, I'm delighted that I've been able to seal the deal with FIFA and North Korea for the 2026 World Cup.
