ELI5: Why is FIFA's corruption largely condoned?

American here. I don't understand how FIFA continues to get away with such horrible actions. Reddit just decided FIFA is basically an evil corporation, yet the world continues to deal with it. Is the honor of hosting the World Cup really so great as to warrant taking so much financial damage? Why can't football teams across the world decide to abandon FIFA and operate under a different company or in a different way?

Better the devil you know than the devil you don't.

If a new football/soccer league started, first of all, not every team would join it over FIFA.  What we'd actually get is competition.  Say maybe 30% of teams join the New League (NL) and the rest stick with FIFA.  Now both companies are fighting for ratings, fighting to host the bigger tournament, etc.  The newer, smaller guy usually loses that fight.

And let's say that our NL wins; every team transitions into it, and FIFA is now defunct.... what then?  How do we know that it will be run any better?  Maybe 5-10 years from now, it'll be doing the same horrible and shady things we see FIFA doing now.

It's far easier to try to fix the current, broken league, than to try and beat it with a new league.
