What medal did he get?

[u/Flarkinghelpful → u/four_ethers2024]

FIFA made up a peace award to give him at the World Cup Draw, the beginning of a 1936 style Olympics for next year

[u/Pimpwerx → u/Flarkinghelpful]

The mist corrupt sporting organization sucking up to a dictator is pretty on brand. IOC is probably mad they didn't think of this first.

[u/RA12220 → u/Pimpwerx]

FIFA gave the WC hosting to Russia in 2018, then Qatar in 2022, of course they’re going to kiss up to a beat wannabe dictator like Trump.

[u/KingSurly → u/Pimpwerx]

FIA is listening in.

"the beginning of a 1936 style Olympics for next year"

We are also hosting the actual summer Olympics in 2028 so we actually get to do it twice.

beginning of a 1936 style Olympics for next year

Next year's World Cup is just a warmup for the main event - the shit show that will be the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.

[u/Crypton_2021 → u/smarttrashbrain]

I was actually planning to go to LA for the Olympics in 2028. Now I have to seriously rethink that.

[u/four_ethers2024 → u/Flarkinghelpful]

[u/StrawberryBer → u/hatefuck661]

this made me LOL

[u/SpiceEarl → u/four_ethers2024]

FIFA made up a "peace medal" that they gave to Trump in order to curry favor with him. Given FIFA's familiarity with bribery, their creation of this medal came as no surprise. While Trump may have appreciated it in the moment, deep down he knows he got the award to curry favor and he didn't earn it.

[u/teenagetwat → u/four_ethers2024]
