We all know which murdering warmongering wannabe dictator this farce of a peace prize is being created for.
The article notes Trump's "close relationship" with Infantino - and that Infantino appointed Ivanka Trump to the board of a $100 million education project funded by World Cup ticket sales.

(8,864 posts)Then creates a peace prize. How about a prize for dynamic pricing? Charging $6,700 for a ticket with a straight face deserves an award for something.
