    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.

      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.
