 "'For North Korea 2026': Comedian showers FIFA chief Sepp Blatter with fake notes")
Zurich — Sepp Blatter’s news conference at FIFA was disrupted and delayed Monday by a British comedian’s stunt. As Blatter took his seat, performer Simon Brodkin rose from a front-row seat to speak and shower the FIFA president with what appeared to be fake money bills.

Blatter said he would leave the room because “we have to clean here first.” “This has nothing to do with football,” said Blatter, who returned within a few minutes and quipped about the incident. “I just called my late mother and she said, ‘Don’t worry, it’s just a lack of education,’” he said. At an earlier executive committee meeting, FIFA set a Feb. 26 election date to replace Blatter. Here’s how Twitter reacted to the incident.
