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.

Its pronounced: FIFA Piece (of Shit) Prize

Why that doesn´t work is because if you give them to credible people, then suddenly Trump is on list of credible peace advocates.

How do you suppose next year's recipient will be selected?

I agree that fifa has to hand out something, lest Trump's prize be "some one-off openly corrupt bullshit", yet fifa can't give it to someone like Mamdani or AOC either, because that'll just piss off old cheeto-face.

Maybe infantino would call Trump for advice. Or give Vance a significantly lesser version, like something out of a cereal box.

I'm sure Stewie Griffin would be both available, and less corrupt than the last few leaders of FIFA

Yup, he should’ve been shown the door back when he suggested getting Russians back into tournaments.

What a surprise that this clown would so many more fuck-ups afterwards. 🗿

We didn't name it soccer. That was the brits. Soccer just stuck over here.

There's many insignificant football countries that have a vote, but that are corrupt af, those all vote for him.

The European countries don't have the vote required to oust him, but they account for the most significant football nations. They might have found their collective bargaining power as if they leave fifa is nothing.

Because all the voting members have equal votes. So the tiny banana republic nations for whom the proposed $30m payment represents a significant amount of their GDP get the same vote as England, for which it represents only half of the FA’s annual profit.

UEFA members have 55 votes out of 211. Assuming all members toe the line, they can easily call a vote of no confidence (requires 20%) but to win the vote they need 106 votes. Earlier this month 200 associations had formally backed Infantino to run for his final term next spring.
