Fifa has revealed the creation of a new peace prize.

The award, called the Fifa Peace Prize, will “recognize exceptional actions for peace,” football’s governing body said Wednesday.

It plans to award the prize at the draw for the World Cup in Washington on December 5.

“In an increasingly unsettled and divided world, it’s fundamental to recognize the outstanding contribution of those who work hard to end conflicts and bring people together in a spirit of peace,” Fifa President Gianni Infantino said.

We all know which murdering warmongering wannabe dictator this farce of a peace prize is being created for.

The article notes Trump's "close relationship" with Infantino - and that Infantino appointed Ivanka Trump to the board of a $100 million education project funded by World Cup ticket sales.

1. How fucking ridiculous, but we know whose knob is being polished.

What other organizations are going to create a “peace prize” that has nothing to do with anything other than as an excuse to make Trump happy with another gold bauble for his mantel?

[unblock]

2. "How many Venezuelans does a guy have to kill to get a peace prize around here?"

[Prairie Gates]

3. The NFL will also be awarding new mathematics prize called the Justin Fields Medal

Trump is so pathetic. That he manages to find people as corrupt and shameless as he is (to wit, Infantino) - that's his true superpower.

4. What a joke, lol

"Mommy, can I get the Nobel Peace Prize?"

"Not today Donald, we have a peace prize at home."

5. OMG

How obvious can they be?

6. Let me guess....

7. Let him have his stupid bullshit award.

It won't mean anything when he's serving the rest of his life in prison with his ass kissing goons.

8. I wonder if he'll even remember what organization bestowed it upon him.

[Scrivener7]

9. That's quite pathetic.

10. It's the mother of all consolation prizes.

11. FIFA hobknobs with the world's most brutal dictators, uses slave labor

Then creates a peace prize. How about a prize for dynamic pricing? Charging $6,700 for a ticket with a straight face deserves an award for something.

12. My solution: BOYCOTT

Boycott all MSM, and now boycott FIFA.

14. He would lose his sh*t if it was given to anybody else but him.

15. Will this keep ICE away from the stadiums and airports in host cities?

A little corruption goes a long way.

16. Rather than boosting the esteem of Trump in the world's view,

Presenting such an award would only further erode the faith that the nations put in FIFA. PEOPLE AREN'T THAT STUPID!

[not fooled]

17. They released a photo

Here's Donnie's participation peace trophy.

21. Oh you bet they are.

19. Simply fucking pathetic.

20. Everyone, please look under you're seats...

You get a peace prize! And YOU get a peace prize! AND YOU GET A PEACE PRIZE!
