World Central Kitchen founder Chef José Andrés expressed his dismay that the International Federation of Football Association (FIFA) chose to honor President Donald Trump with a fabricated “peace prize.” FIFA President Gianni Infantino presented Trump with the “inaugural 2025 FIFA Peace Prize” in Washington, D.C. on Friday before the FIFA draw of teams for the 2026 World Cup hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

WCK is a non-profit organization that provides hot meals to displaced people in crisis zones around the world. While serving Palestinians in 2024, WCK workers were caught up in Israeli airstrikes that killed seven aid workers in April 2024 and at least three in November.

Andrés posted to X on Saturday, “Football brings the world together—that’s why we love the World Cup.”

He continued, “How can FIFA give a ‘peace’ award to someone who does the opposite? Someone who divides with hate, trashes Somalis and Haitians and makes Latinos fear walking the street. That’s anti-football. And bombing boats in the Caribbean? This prize betrays the beautiful game.”

Chef Andrés is the one who deserves the Nobel Peace prize a hundred times over! Traveling the world, to war zones and to places like downtown D.C. when workers were furloughed. He is the embodiment of what that award is supposed to mean.

1. FIFA is all that is wrong with soccer. Well then and the jerks

That team out local soccer club. Same deal though, looking out for themselves.

2. You have to deal with trump as if he were Anthony Fremont.

3. Robert De Niro did a great podcast about FIFA yesterday.

FIFA should be boycotted!!!!!

6. Yes, it should be boycotted

but I'm not going to hold my breath.

7. What the heck!

I went to YouTube to watch the video and it appears to be a computer generated version of DeNiro.

We use original voiceover narration, storytelling, and dramatized reenactments to break down complex political events in a clear, emotional, and engaging way. All visuals and voices are independently created and do not feature or represent Robert De Niro himself.

Pretty soon we won't know what is real and what is fake.

8. Oh no! That sucks.

[PatSeg]

9. Yeah and there are a lot more such videos under

"Bobby Report". I can adapt to a whole lot of changes, but all this AI is getting out of hand. Meanwhile, even though there is a disclaimer, most of the commenters believe it is really DeNiro.

4. All I can say is JFC!

OOPS.

Here is Dump getting his participation trophy juice box.



Share. (the picture, not the chicken dinner)

5. Refreshing to see a rich successful guy telling Trump to fuck off

Bezos and the others have made a mockery of the basic concept of "Fuck You Money."
