A motion of "no confidence" in the Football Association has been passed by MPs debating the organisation's ability to reform itself.
While the motion is largely symbolic, MPs have warned legislation will be brought in if changes are not made.
Sports Minister Tracey Crouch has said the FA could lose ?30m-?40m of public funding if it does not modernise.
I have to ask wtf the taxpayer is even giving funding to the FA. The FA makes ?261 million profit a year, so why are 'we' giving it money? Surely with the money that the leagues are making should fund the FA (after all it is the "Football" association and it shouldn't be getting than 10% of it's "profit" from public funding each year. I think someone out there in the government certainly has it's priorities confused
