Apparently stamping out corruption is too difficult a proposition. So Nigerian soccer officials told its assembled refs during a soccer seminar to simply ‘take the money’ and still call a good game.

Is this the worst idea in sports since Michael Jordan playing baseball? Or is this just a realistic approach in a country that is known as one of the most corrupt in the world?

    That's great advice...until the first referee takes the money and tries to call a fair game and gets beaten to death after the game by the team that didn't feel they got their money's worth.
