One of the most corrupt organizations on the planet launches a "peace prize" whose first recipient will surely be the most corrupt political leader on the planet. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/amp/world/fifa-to-award-new-peace-prize-at-world-cup-draw-in-washington

Well they are probably the only ones who accept bribes and favours from nominees.
@dangillmor „let me buy some sympathy and honour“ doesn’t work that way. 🤪😂🤣
@dangillmor Hard to think of an award with less meaning or value than a corrupt football association giving a peace prize!!
And all because Donny’s mummy didn’t compliment little Donny on his pooping.
@dangillmor Anything to keep him from stealing the FIFA Cup again.
@dangillmor Gee, I wonder who will be the lucky winner. 🤔
@dangillmor
What is it worth? It would be like buying counterfeit products instead of the real brands: they may look good in pictures but in reality they are garbage.
@dangillmor thought this guy was supposed to fix FIFA post septic bladder... I see.. He is doing lots of "fixing", not the way we assumed. Can't be long before he utters "I feel MAGA today, i feel christo fascist today, i feel white supremacist today"...
The Darwin award now is official. How much did Infantino get for this?
@dangillmor Another reason to boycott the whole shebang.
@dangillmor are they forming a circle yet, bending forward so they can lick & kiss their white front man's poop shute? (In this case I certainly don't mean front person.)
@dangillmor FIFA upper management has always been #1 in cringe.
@dangillmor BOYCOTT FIFA! STILL AINT THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE THOUGH!!!
@dangillmor
As a football fan. Fuck. FIFA.
(Real football guys, not 'Murrican "hand run smash brain damage" ball.)
Both the Olympics & World Cup in the US need to be boycotted.

Please don't be like the spectators at Hitler's 1936 Olympics.

Corruption meets corruption, really the biggest disgust you ever saw.
Seems like bet-hedging against having troops in the streets for the World Cup.
Keep him waiting for the gold bauble.
@dangillmor
But it also has the chance to do the funniest thing ever to that failed businessman. Invite him, have the cameras on him . . .
. . .and then give it to Diego Forlán.
@dangillmor
I was in the audience for Last Week Tonight back in 2014 and got to ask a question during the pre-show warmup
All I said was, "Sepp Blatter or Roger Goodell?" and damn, John Oliver did three solid minutes on the monstrousness of Blatter and FIFA
And the org has only gotten worse
now now, there’s still the chance that MbS might outbid him
@dangillmor ...Did Trump have another stroke in that photo? He looks like he's stroking out.
@dangillmor FIFA jumping the shark (again?)
You get a peace prize and you get a peace prize and you get a peace prize!
