(… there’s a way on lemmy to do federated links to the original lemmy instance, right? ~ I’ll learn that yet).
he must have a really great ass to fit so many people in
Does it come with FIFA Bucks because if not…
They created a whole shitshow award to curry favour with a big baby who will hopefully dies of old age shortly, but that the world will remember them as morons for much much longer.
I’m waiting to see how SNL makes fun of this. It already feels like satire.
It only got a short mention by Colin Jost at the top of Weekend Update:
Trump has not yet won the Nobel Peace Prize, but he did win the equally prestigious Soccer Peace Prize.
FIFA actually invented a fake peace prize in Trump’s honor, and that’s why the trophy shows Trump’s gnarled hands dragging Earth into Hell.
I want them to 1 for 1 recreate the scene. No changes.
I’m having a hard time identifying which one of them is more dumb. The first dumbass which thinks somebody cares what football CEO has to say in peace prize nomination, the second dumbass which thinks football CEO’s peace prize is legit or fist the dumbass which thinks that second dumbass is dumb enough to believe that it’s legit.
I’ll should ask my pals to inaugurate me as humanity’s most seductive eyebrows holder of the history. They should establish international community of holy drunks of the John Paul the 2nd street, though.
The first guy may be a dumbass but not because of this. FIFA is nothing if not corrupt and this is 100% greasing palms for Trump. They give him a huge ego boost to hopefully chill it on trying to move games or doing something insane during the World Cup.
Like think of the logistic nightmare if he decides LA cant have a game and tries to move it to Kansas or Nebraska because they are good white christian areas with fewer brown people.
Okay but how is this ego boost if everyone knows it’s just greasing.
I mean, imagine you lost competition and started crying about it like a baby. Now someone comes in and gives you a medal from plastic for “doing great job” just to make you behave. Wouldn’t you look pathetic and not offensive to you?
Yeah but Trump is either stupid enough or egotistic enough to fall for this
It’s the same thing you do with a 5 year old, when he’s upset about not winning. Have your own “prize” at home.
Aye, the participation medal the conservatives always cry about
Probably because it just happened. The president of FIFA made up this “prize” to kiss Trump’s ass.
And now he wants the NFL to stop using the word football.
This sounds entirely reasonable. American rugby is a much better name.
And thus ended the soccer wars, just like that.
So have all the soccer hooligans made up then?
It started the football wars though
I’m going to give the fifa peace prize the same amount of respect I’d give a Nobel football world cup. Less even.
No way this is real. I had to search for it in ddg. Oh my god. I got the biggest cringe attack I’ve ever had in this year so far. FIFA is really a professional bootlicker.
You had to search for it in Dashcam Drivers Germany?
“Inaugural” … more like “First and only”
Not true. No where did it say Trump can’t win for the next 3 years.
Textbook shakedown. He’ll not invade Greenland, Panama or Canada as long as he keeps getting the prize every year.
Well if there is a person more corrupt than Trump it’s definitely Infantino.
maybe the IOC too.
