Disgraced former FIFA VP Jack Warner hailed as 'Robin Hood' by the newspaper he owns

Warner’s newspaper say he’s the ‘black whipping boy’ for FIFA

A TRINIDAD AND Tobago newspaper has leapt to the defence of disgraced former FIFA Vice President Jack Warner.

However, the newspaper in question just happens to be owned by Jack Warner.

The Trinidad and Tobago Sunshine has come out in defence of him this week, describing him as a ‘Robin Hood’ character,  and have also claimed he’s being thrown under the bus by FIFA because of his colour.

Inside the newspaper, it’s claimed that Warner “outfoxed” the world’s media, by leaving unnoticed from the prison he was being held at, with the scrum of journalists ready to corner him outside.

The 72-year-old had surrendered himself to police in Trinidad and Tobago on Wednesday, May 27, but was released after paying $400,000 in bail.

Another article describes how Warner merely beat FIFA at their own game, robbing from the rich and giving to the poor, lauding him as a hero for using his acquired wealth to make his own country better.

On Sunday, Warner became the subject of much amusement after using an article from satirical American newspaper The Onion to defend himself, and yesterday, the former CONCACAF President said he would implicate Sepp Blatter and Fifa for their involvement in the Trinidad and Tobago elections in 2010.
