Coca Cola have sparked a chain. After one of FIFA's biggest sponsors called for outgoing president Sepp Blatter to resign immediately, as opposed to the planned exit next February, another major power has joined them in releasing a statement.
Adidas have had a long history with FIFA - supplying the balls for every World Cup since 1970. A statement from the equipment giant has called for further changes to the governing of FIFA, without specifically asking for the removal of Blatter:

It's a change of tune from a sponsor compared to what Coca Cola were asking for. Now that the major players are making noises, now things might finally change.
