But perhaps Budweiser dropped one of the biggest teasers of all:VISA follows fellow FIFA sponsors McDonald's and Coca-Cola in demanding Blatter goes immediately. Blatter is defying those calls

First, Budweiser confirmed that the calls to action were a coordinated effort. Second, they implied that Adidas, who has yet to say anything, soon may be involved in demanding Blatter's resignation. Just imagine if the soccer giant put the hammer down. Maybe that would cripple old Joseph.Budweiser on Fifa. Believe Blatter's "continued presence to be an obstacle in the reform process." pic.twitter.com/jcXGnH7gHH
