Gianni Infantino, president of the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA), is facing mounting pressure from the European football body (UEFA), after the latter informed him that he must step down from his position or face a vote of no confidence that could lead to his removal.
Oh no… I hope this doesn’t jeopardize the annual FIFA Peace Prize that was totally going to happen next year and wasn’t just some one-off openly corrupt bullshit meant to stroke the ego of a senile narcissist.
If I was taking over FIFA today and trying to fix its status as being perhaps the most famous example of corruption in the world today, I would actually give out the phoney baloney peace prize a few more times before stopping.
That way, you wouldn’t have the only recipient ever be one who started many wars the next year. And you could say that you plan on giving out five or ten more prizes to try to atone for giant “mistake” with the first one.

Nah I’d make a statement that FIFA has never had such a prize and if one had been given out it was worthless.
Remember FIFA got it’s world cup in the USA and trump is out in 2 years there’s no need for them to bow down anymore.
I’d retroactively take the other one back, make a big deal about how trump is one of the least peaceful people, then not give it out again.
Having a fake award that was only made only to stroke your ego, removed very publicly, has to suck a lot more than receiving it in the first place.
If you’re taking it back, you know what would be amazing? Take back the one Trump got and give it to somebody else.
Give it to Obama, lol. Not that he deserves it, but it would be the ultimate middle finger.
Or AOC, or Bernie LOL.
Give it to him five years straight. Lol. Even if he doesn’t ever come to collect. Just keep announcing it on stage.
And give it to random people, not anyone note worthy. Like, team up with McDonalds to run a competition to win a FIFA peace prize or something.
Buy a Big Mac Meal and you qualify to enter the draw for your own FIFA Peace Prize.
Given how much McDonald’s Trump eats, odds are he’d still win it under those rules.
It’d be like that rich kid who’s daddy owned the factory in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory…but with Big Macs.
Except he’d be doing it with tax dollars.
