FIFA to award new peace prize at World Cup draw in December

Source: Independent

Fifa has revealed the creation of a new peace prize.

The award, called the Fifa Peace Prize, will “recognize exceptional actions for peace,” football’s governing body said Wednesday.

It plans to award the prize at the draw for the World Cup in Washington on December 5.

“In an increasingly unsettled and divided world, it’s fundamental to recognize the outstanding contribution of those who work hard to end conflicts and bring people together in a spirit of peace,” Fifa President Gianni Infantino said.

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.

What other organizations are going to create a “peace prize” that has nothing to do with anything other than as an excuse to make Trump happy with another gold bauble for his mantel?

Trump is so pathetic. That he manages to find people as corrupt and shameless as he is (to wit, Infantino) - that's his true superpower.

It won't mean anything when he's serving the rest of his life in prison with his ass kissing goons.

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.

Presenting such an award would only further erode the faith that the nations put in FIFA. PEOPLE AREN'T THAT STUPID!
