Visa (click here) says it will reassess its sponsorship unless Fifa makes changes. Coca-Cola and Adidas voiced concern.
The European football body Uefa will decide whether to boycott Friday's vote for the next Fifa president.
Incumbent Sepp Blatter has yet to appear in public since the arrests.
Mr Blatter, who is hoping to secure a fifth term at Fifa's congress in the Swiss city of Zurich on Thursday, was not named in the corruption investigations.
Sponsors have become sensitive to the will and opinion of the people. Rightfully so. Sponsors lend their name and the name of their products to be recognized by the people/fans that come to events that matter to them.
The World Cup survived in the face of corruption. It survived because of the will of the global community. It is powerful to realize the people kept the event at the center of importance in the mission of The World Cup. It does have a mission. It will continue to have a mission and it will be an incredible renewal.
If The World Cup can carry the brevity it did from it's inception in the face of corruption it will be magnificent when there is leadership that loves the mission more than the money that leads to person wealth.
We have witnessed the will of the people of the countries and nations that participate in The World Cup. It is amazing to come to terms with the mission of The World Cup and it's success. In the participation of the countries is to realize how much closer they hae all come to compete on a level playing field. The referees have been incredible. They have kept the event center on fairness.
It is sad to realize how the leadership took advantage of an event that brings the world's attention to center stage for a month every year.
I congratulate the people that come to the stands and crowds to support their teams and find a part in the event. The World Cup exists because of the crowds and the passion for the sport.
Until later...
