Bribes okay for Nigerian soccer refs

Stardate 5543.7

HAHA! I had to plop this story out as I thought it was amazingly funny.

LAGOS, Nigeria - Soccer referees in Nigeria can take bribes from clubs but should not allow them to influence their decisions on the field, a football official said on Friday.

So they are basically saying that since refs are already taking cash from teams and others, it is okay to do so, but they shouldn't let that affect their officiating. Heh. The way I figure it, either it will affect their officiating, or clubs will stop offering bribes since they don't work. I think I would go with the first thought...
