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 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 One the one hand, terrible. On the other hand, very much on-brand for FIFA.

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"...

@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.)

Both the Olympics & World Cup in the US need to be boycotted.

Seems like bet-hedging against having troops in the streets for the World Cup.

Keep him waiting for the gold bauble.

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.

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

Can we all just agree to ignore FIFA, the Worldcup, and any news articles that talk about this "peace" prize?
