Where was the “embarrassment” when they had the world cup in Russia in 2018 and when they had it in Qatar? Ultimately embarrassment ought to result in action but I’m not sure it will here.
From what I have heard this last decade fifa is about the only organization as openly and shamelessly corrupt as the president.
Oh so there is a line after all?
There nominative determination could’ve clued them in.
Hard to imagine FIFA being capable of embarrassment.
Boycott the World Cup, boycott the Olympics, boycott America.
Sounds good, I’m in
Just like when it was the Qatar World Cup, I refuse to watch it or talk about it.
We have canceled all our football tickets and hotel acomedations for the 2026 World Cup.
We request that you do the same,
FIFA execs can feel embarassment? I don’t buy it
For the right price I’m sure they can feel shame
My thoughts exactly, the “futbol mafia” embarrassed? No way
They had someone build them a hyper realistic simulation of what embarrassing might feel like to a regular person.
How are they just now getting embarrassed?
They presented a fucking ‘peace’ prize to a fascistic dictator and convicted rapist. They’re a fucking laughing stock right alongside the orange degenerate.
Yeah, the article sounds like it was written by the Onion.
Are they concerned that Trump is diminishing the credibility of the award? The one they invented to transparently flatter the things of this exact, specific egomaniacal madman?
Sure Jan.
Gowron?
No way, Gowron has more honor in his pinky toe than that man has in his entire body.
And Gowron was definitely not an honorable Klingon.
Too true.
Found Martok’s Lemmy account
Is this real?
He actually picked up the medal like that, however the face and hair are edited.
Partially
Please. FIFA will suck whatever dick it has to.
They can’t go any lower than this in their effort to appease a megalomaniac.
If they were so worried about world peace they should have barred the Israeli football clubs from participating in any international tournaments.
These and the Olympics are going to be like the 1936 Olympics, but like a farcical tragicomedy.
Boycott.
And that’s coming from an Australian.I’m too poor to afford a ticket. But I can always not even watch the games :D
Even better, watch the games and compile a list of all the sponsors buying a commercial during the games. Then publish and boycott.
That’s what we did with Berlusconi’s TV channels.
Yes that’s part of a boycott. Their ratings are absolutely important to them.
“First as a tragedy, then as a farce”
Yeah… That’s just one anonymous source feeling some embarrassment.
Fifa, however, doubled down on their decision to award the peace prize to Trump and said it did not comment on “hearsay”. A spokesperson said: “Fifa strongly supports its annual peace prize, an award to recognise exceptional actions for peace and unity.
Annual? Did fifa actually give these out before? I thought this was special just for Trump.
Yeah, that actually changes things. Not a lot, but very slightly. Like, whatever unit is smaller than a Planck length.
Edit: it’s an “annual” prize, but Trump got the first one. I would be surprised if there was another, but maybe he’ll win that one too.
Unity?
Ah yess, the famous football player. Shoot five Hattricks in one game.
